I'm curious about D'Addario's new Balanced Tension strings (EXL110BT). There are 3 different sizes compared to regular EXL110's:
- B string is 13.5 instead of regular 13
- G string is 25 instead of 26
- A string is 34 instead of 36
I've read some reviews, but oddly enough, the common complaints are (a) darker sounding and (b) more difficult to bend. This confuses me to no end... given the differences, they should be brighter and easier to bend (except for the B string), but what do I know...
Anyone tried them? Was it enough of a change to require intonation adjustments? How do they sound?
