Good, even for 25,5 scale length

As i mentioned, i was using this strings on 25,5 scale length guitar and tuned it to mostly to B standart or A#. And with this tunning, the tension is pretty comfortable to play, didnt have a feeling that strings is too loose. I even tuned it down to G#, and here the strings loose enough, to make playing not so comfortable, but you can used to it.

Not just for baritone

These are currently on a 25.5 inch guitar tuned to C standard and I'm sure it can go to C# or even D standard. The strings themselves are of the recognizable standard quality D'Addario offers. They are consistent in look, feel, they don't break (at least not when I play them). An additional goodness is there are not that many sets out there that allow you to experiment with low tunings in this way.

These strings feel great for the price

These strings feel great for the price, but if you try NYXL you might probably prefer the latter and never go back...

Excellent strings

A excellent set of strings.

Work very well with a Gibson-style guitar tuned down to C standard.

The lowest string becomes a bit too loose when doing B-standard and playing faster riffs though.

Like a piano.

If you aren't going to go with flats on your baritone, than these are the next best thing. These are meant for 27" to 28" scale baritones and I have them on a 27" Fender Jaguar tuned to B Standard, but could easily go down to G Standard. Low B sounds like a piano and the tension is perfect.

The only ones still payable

These are good strings, not as nice as the NYXL series, but the only ones that are as big as these.

Great strings!

I just rated 4 stars because I thought I'd like but didn't in terms of feeling. The strings are great as all D'addario but this one is not for me.

Unleash the thunder

I'm a long time D'Addario string user on regular scale guitars and long scale bass and these are equally superb - balanced, bright but not thin sound, just sound awesome clean or overdriven. I get decent string life and very rarely break strings even though I pick hard with a very heavy pick. Tuning stability is good too and general feel is good, string handling noise is low. Reslly, you can't go wrong with D'Addario sytings in my humble opinion - also, the pack is environment friendly too.
