Anyone currently using these on their 4001/4003?

I'm thinking of giving them a shot, but can't find ANY information (even on Rotosound's site) regarding string tension.

Thanks!

I've never used the SM66 set, but I've used the RS66LD set for years on 4001s and 4003s. The only difference I can see is the SM66 is a bit lighter gauge (40, 60, 80, 100 instead of 45, 65, 80, 105) and so, should be a bit less tension.

I've used the RS66LD set on a '74 4001 for 20 some years with no issues and on my '76 4001 that has a repaired neck crack, also with no issues. So, I'm going to guess they should be fine for whatever you're planning...
