I've been playing 12-string for 40 years, and this rose to the top of the best strings. I tune to Eb.

For acoustics, this is 100% my favorite brand. They stay bright and fresh sounding much longer than others I have tried, and also have a good feel. I usually get at least a year of regular play time out of them. #sweepstakes

Didn't really have a chance to play them much since they were going on a guitar I was selling. What I did see was good, tuned up nicely and held their tuning pretty good. Sounded great and they were easier to play than the original strings, but I'm not sure what gauge the original strings were.
