Just an update. I put on a set of DRS Rare Phosphor Bronze about two days ago. They sound gorgeous on old Blondie (my 1964 Guild 12). We will see how they hold up, but I suspect they will last very well based on the feel of them. As 12 string players know, its the octave G string that most often fails, due to its very small diameter. But so far, so good, they sound very good. I'll keep you posted.

All the best,

Mick
