As expected

Good quality. Use it for 27 Baritone in C tuning, perfect tension for that

Great Choice for C tuning

I use these strings since 2011, i love them, i use them to tune to Standard C on 25.5 inch scale guitar. Tension is perfect for me, no problem with intonation (if guitar is set up correctly) sounds bright and they last really long (as long as you keep your guitar in the case if unused).

if you look to C tuning, this one will do the job perfectly.

These are a few of my favourite strings

Love these 12s from D'Addario. They last a long time, and I can pack my guitar away after rehearsal and come back the next week and it's still in tune.

Almost perfect for C# and D standard if you prefer tension

Sounds and feels great. Would be better if the 20p was a wound string.

Much too thin - I play bass

I got them for a guitarist buddy. They look nice but they haven't improved his playing. Send them back I guess...

My go to for low Mastodon style tunings

Great strings, don't corrode for me as much as ernies do. Hold tune very well and sound massive

My go-to's for many years, but maybe a touch too much for standard tuning

I've been using these strings on my guitar for many-many years now.

Only now am I realizing that maybe, playing 12s in standard tuning is not the best idea.

These strings work quite well for something like Drop C or maybe even D Standard tuning. If you play in standard tuning, I would suggest looking at some lighter gauge strings. Hammer-ons and pull-offs on the 1st fret are quite difficult in standard tuning with these strings (or at least they were on my cheap Peavey), and that's what finally did me in to look towards lighter gauges for standard tuning.

All in all, great strings for the price, but do have a moment to think about what strings you're using right now and how much more tension these strings bring to the table.

I have been using this gauge on my Tele for a few months now and have zero complaints thus far. Am playing D Standard with the occasional open C tuning and in either setup it's such a joy to play. Huge, beefy tone and great clarity altogether.

Works like a charm!

I play a lot of drop C/drop B tuning and this set of strings work great! I can even go as low as G# without the strings losing tightness or sound quality!
