Thanks Crazyquilt, I had read your post and decided to try one more time to find the perfect string for me, and I did. I'm sorry I was too lazy to scroll back and find the other post.
Your description was right on the money. I'm not even tempted to try them on my P-05 all mahogany. I agree with you and I don't think that would work. On my 00 rosewood, however, they seem to keep that wonderful complexity of tone and yet dry it out somehow.
I also agree they have fairly high tension. My action is so low on the Northwood that I could sometimes make my low E and G strings buzz if I played harder than normal. For that reason I was only buying lights with a 54 on the bottom. The Reds are 12-53's and I can't make them buzz one bit.
I am grateful to you for sharing your accurate opinion.
