This string set should have been named "Light Top, Super-Heavy Middle, and Floppy Bottom." That pretty much sums up my review. They're great strings obviously, but the gauges don't make a good set. I did some calculations, ordered my own custom set of D'Addario singles (9.5, 13, 17, 24, 32, 44, 60, 80) and voila! The muddiness on the low F# and B strings evaporated (it wasn't the pickups' fault after all), the middle strings became bendable again, and string-tension is pretty even across the fretboard which is SO much more playable. Buy D'Addario all the way, but don't buy this set if you don't want serious tension and tone problems. 8-string guitarists need to be especially picky with strings, and this set was not intelligently assembled.

I started using these about a year back and haven’t had any issues. These things make my 8 string feel like butter.
