EXL160BT Balanced Tension : Excellent quality and good for lower tunings

These seem made to fit lower tunings, i currently have them in Drop C, but honestly i think they would be better in standard C: the higher strings still have quite a bit of tension!

Not to mention: having them in a "drop" style tuning kind of defeats the purpose of the "balanced tension", but the low C string still has good tension and sounds full.

Pros:

- good sound, as always from d'addario

- long lasting (at least when compared to other non coated strings)

- perfect for low tunings or if you just want higher tension and a balanced feel

Neutral:

- the "balanced" feel may take some getting used to

- overall tension of the strings is higher than i anticipated

Cons:

- you "may" need to check if your nut can fit the thicker gauge. I got lucky and did not need any adjustment.
