D'Addario XL Jazz Extra Light

[squid]

I just a put a set of these on my 330 and I'm really, really pleased with them. Good and chunky on the bass side, but still nice and bright towards the high E. This is a 330 with the newer high gain pick-ups (i.e with adjustable pole pieces). I found the old strings (D'Addario XL 10's) to be a little wan when coupled with these pick-ups, but the jazz extra light set is nice and balanced. There's definitely a bit more stress on the neck now, but nothing that causes me any great concern. I don't think I'd use these with toasters, though. Or humbuckers, for that matter ...
