I received a recommendation for GHS Vanguard Classics 2510 Nickel Smoothwound Guitar Strings a few days ago.
Wound 3rd string.

Interesting choice that mirrors what Michael Johnson used on his Kohno. According to a long-time friend of his, he used "D'Addario LP Composites Normal Tension, with a Savarez Alliance High Tension (Blue Card) for the third string". By the LP Composites I think she means EJ45LP

I currently use Oasis GPX High Tension but am thinking of moving back to normal tension and may give this combination a try.
