D'Addario EJ45C Pro Arte Composite Normal Tension, Full Set
[EJ45C]

These strings provide a very nice, neutral (neither bright nor mellow) sound on my guitar (Kenny Hill Hauser '37). They have lasted for more than five-hundred hours of playing, and are probably good for several hundred hours more before I change the bass strings; it's nice, of course, that D'Addario makes sets of bass string available. I don't hear any difference in tone between picking at the bottom of the sound hole and picking at the top; if I did, I would be giving these strings five stars.
