    These Optima gold plated strings work great. They will give you enhanced highs that you can roll off if needed. Second, they are highly resistant to rust/dulling. This is the next set I bought for another guitar.

    Arrived quickly, more than met my expectations as far as sound and feel goes. Time will tell if they last as long as others but I have high hopes and don't regret the greater cost these strings had

    These strings are the best. They last the longest and sound like new forever. Just ask Brian May from the band Queen. Or,ask Frank Zappa. These are the ultimate in guitar strings. A little pricey, but well worth the money.

    Best strings on the market for guitars with strings saver/tusq/brass saddles.....warm with just the right amount of brightness to them. They hold pitch / tuning as well.
