Time to check in on this and share with you about a fabulous guitar string, the Guild medium bronze phosphors. These strings are bright as the noonday sun, and last a long time. I used to buy them commonly in music stores, but have found that since Fender bought Guild, they are not as easy to find. However, I do order them from the Elderly catalog and buy about a half dozen sets at a time. Last I looked, they were still under $5 per set.

They ring!
