I think I'm a believer now...

So after 15 years of using nothing but D'Addario strings, I decided I would give EB a chance. Since my new JP6 came with RPS 10s on it, I decided I would leave them on and see how they sound/feel/last.

After a couple weeks with the guitar, all I can say is YES. Just ordered enough RPS sets (and few single .056 Nickel Wound) to restring my JP6 and my JP7s for a while.

I think I might try a set of the Titanium Coated strings on the JP6 just to see how they feel, but I've never been a fan of coated strings. Pete D sent me a set with the JP6, though so I won't let them go to waste.

If that's the case, it's a shame I can't get them in 7 string...or even singles in .056...
