[Revy]

I have a 2011 Gibson 335 that I purchased over a year ago and the previous owner recommend using DR Blues. I bought three sets and tried them and I was almost to the point of selling the guitar. It was dull, lifeless, and less than impressive! I then bought a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Studio HP from a guy on Reverb. As a nice gesture he included a 3 pack of D'Addario NY XL strings. He said he did some work for a friend and they gave him a whole box of them so he through in a 3 pack since they were a different gauge than he used. I did some work on both guitars so it ended up I put a set on the LP and liked them. No super big difference but I liked them and thought they were a good string. I then worked on the 335 and put a set on it as well. I was absolutely floored! Night and day difference between the DR's and the D'Addario NY XL's. Bright, resonant, a completely different animal. It is now one of my favorite guitars and I'm so glad I kept it. I had no idea a set of strings could make that kind of difference. Apparently they're all not that way but these sure were!
