D'Addario EXL Balanced Tension

Specifically the 45-60-80-107 set - EXL170BT Pros: Good strong fundamentals Plenty of low end thump, particularly with the oversize E string Very consistent tone from string to string, possibly benefit of BT Cons: Rough and rasp-like under the fingers Along with that, a lot of clangy, scratchy handling noise. (Has eased a little after 4 weeks!) 'Balanced tension' is not reflected in feel - G string in particular is difficult to get much bend in
