I will try DR Rare on my HD-28 tonight if I get time today.

I am sold on the DR round cores for my Telecaster, and quite like the feel and sustain of the Med/Lite Sunbeams on my cutaway. The Sunbeams are as advertised on that guitar where they are not particularly bright, but no way dead.

One step heavier on the Tele felt the same as Fender and webstrings.com strings and the Tite-Fits gave it perfect classic Tele tone.

DR actual sizing for the named size differs, so I'm trying Med. Rares to replace .012 - .053 D'Addario lights on the HD-28.

DR Med/Lite Sunbeams (11-50) did not change the action as far as visual or feel on my Larrive OMV, but are easier to bend than the "Light" EJ16 and webstrings they replaced.

I'll report what Low Tension in the DR ad copy means.
