Ok ...I have been using these for a month now ...and I like them for what I needed except for one thing. After about ten hours of playing ....the winding on the D, A and lower E string started to unravel down at the lower frets ....especially the 5th fret. I have them on a 1920's Martin Wurlitzer 00-18 with bar frets. The folks at Pearse sent me another set to try which I have put on a Martin 0-28 with bar frets too to see if the bar frets are a problem ....or if it was the particular guitar. Otherwise I like them for my application ..you can hear them here:

I currently have the TI Ropes S on my old 0-18 which came with the JP Folks when I bought it several months ago. At first I didn't care for the Ropes but I am getting to like them better,possibly though because my memory of the Folks is fading. I'll put the Folks back on when I next change strings. Both string sets are expensive.

Hey Austin, sorry for the late reply, just saw your question today.
The 0-18 and I are doing great. It still has the same strings on it as I mentioned in an earlier post, the TI Ropes. They are over a half year old but sound excellent. I'm glad they last because they are about $30 a set. Next string change I'll go back to the JP Folks to see how they sound again. I keep it tuned down a half step when in standard tuning D#-D#. Lately though I have the guitar in open D, deep rumbly lows but sweet sounding all around. Regardless of the tuning it is usually my go to guitar. Peter |

Glad to hear you're both doing well together! Since she's gone on to live with you, I can't say that I haven't looked for her in the guitar closet once or twice.

I’ve got the TI JP Folk on my Cordoba currently and love them. They have excellent volume and the bass is strong but not boomy to my ears. The strings have been on this guitar for about 4 months. I love TI strings and have had excellent results with Spectrums and Plectrums on my steel strings and also use TI’s on my mandolin. The intonation is very consistent for all applications and I always get over 4 months life or more out of every TI string set so that offsets the higher cost compared to many other string brands I have used where I felt like I needed to change at 1/3 to 1/2 the life I get out of TI’s. I once tried a set of the Classic S on a Taylor 814 and the tone was beautiful even though the volume was somewhat reduced.
