Yes, it should read 0.016 not 0.018. Amazingly it has been wrong on their site for months without correction....

My ' almost 'identical comment' was in reference to ELECTRIC regular XL110's vs. ' balanced tension XL - and the packages are very similar
no reference to the Nickel Bronze Acoustic strings ( which are nice, but $$!) |

Thanks for the correction. Then the "balance" makes sense.

Did you ever get any worthwhile responses to your question
LivesForever,
Did you ever get any worthwhile responses to your question? More importantly, did you try out the balanced tension strings and if so, what did you think? Thanks. Quote:

Old thread, but I just discovered these strings. I was looking for a good medium-light set for my 00-17 and discovered the 13.5s. Put on the nickel bronze set but swapped a light 16 b string and medium 13 high e. Tension is not much higher than a set of lights, and the tone is full and rich. Great strings!

I find it bizarre that D'Addario could come out with such an esoteric set of strings as this and yet apparently are reluctant to create Dadgad sets in their XS and XT ranges because they think the demand isn't there!

(Yes old thread, but maybe still relevant)…. tried a few different “balanced” sets but they left me wanting something more on the tone front. A good example is D’Addario NB’s. I VERY much like the “regular” NB’s but found the tone of the balanced sets “boring”. I’ve not seen any data that says tone benefits from having all 6 strings at the same tension, so can only guess the design is more about feel than tone,,,?

Kind of like the Lawrence Juber Martin retro strings. Light middles and medium low e and high two. I think you’re right though. The marketing angle is the FEEL of balanced tension strings. Not sure that matters to me a whole lot. |
