Feature:
They are pure nickel wound around a hex shaped core of quality Swedish steel.
Quality:
Top quality.
Value:
Slightly more expensive than an 'average' set of strings, and worth every penny of that extra.
Sound:
These are quite simply the best electric guitar strings around. For classic rock, they give a tone which is just unbeatable in my opinion. They have a truly wonderful vintage vibe to them, that makes your guitar sound like a professional instrument. I have tried all the major brands (Ernie Ball, GHS, D'addario, etc etc) and the conclusion I have come to is that these have by far the superior tone.
Ease of Use:
These strings feel fantastic to play. They have a wonderful smooth silky feel, and are very easy to bend. I have been using them for a year now, and have never yet broken a single string. I play classic rock, with quite a bit of bending of notes, so I don't treat them softly either.
Support:
Not needed
Overall:
I will never use anything else, I have found 'my' strings. If you don't use these strings you are missing out big time.

Quality:
Fantastic quality. They are packaged well (vacuum sealed), play great, and last a long time. I'm an avid player who tends to put off puting on new strings, and one of the reasons I got into the (not-so-good) habit was because these strings don't ever seem to wear down. They rarely break, and I don't take it easy on them either. These strings are incredibly well-made.
Value:
They may be a little more pricey than other brands (by about, what maybe $1?), and believe me, you get every cent out of that extra dollar and more. If the tone alone isn't enough to convince you, the durability will. You'll probably save more than $1 because you won't have to constantly replace them (unless you REALLY punish your strings, in which case you might need to back off a bit..). I would take one pack of these for 3 packs of any of the cheaper brands
Sound:
These are simply the best sounding strings I've ever encountered. Warm and full, with a plenty of bite and sustain. They have a chime to them when played clean, and they have a perfect growl when driven hard. No matter what style you play, these strings will sound great.
Overall:
If you haven't tried these strings, you're missing out. Any other brand pales in comparison. I've been playing for about 11 years, and once I started using vintage reissues I never stopped. They're the best.
