The low E-String was a bit flappy ( did not have enough tension ) for my tastes, but I do like the feel of the top three strings ; dry, powdery under the fingers but not abrasively dry. Good tone, and the flexibility is surprising - you'd expect to put in a lot more effort and wait longer for the string to return. SO you can play fast if you like ( although the soft sound does not really support it) they have definitely encouraged m to play more bass, and I look forward to recording. Work on getting that E-String a little tighter, guys!
