They look great, nice and shiney...but not too sure i like the sound they are producing, seems a bit bright to me. Has anyone had a similar experience? Hopefully a bit of wear and tear will help.

Some love them, some hate them. Personally I'm on the 'love' side. You'll probably get used to them- if you're used to Phosphor Bronze (usually more copper coloured than the gold elixirs) then it's quite a big change _________________________ PSN: stickyfiddle
