I've currently got them on my 1981 MIJ Epiphone and they sound very good on that guitar. They have a markedly different tonality than PB's for sure. There are a number of vids on YouTube comparing these strings to others and in every one there is a demonstrable difference that NB's bring.
That being said, there is no one set of strings that is best for every guitar. In fact, I've done extensive testing over the past year and can say that every guitar has a set of strings that will optimize it's sound. There is no substitute for testing every guitar if you want the best sound from it.
For those who think their guitar might have a little something extra to give, NB's are definitely worth a try. Yeah, they are a little pricey and I don't think I'll be ordering any more, but for some they might be the ticket.
