I have tried alot of reso strings in search of the
best.Jim Dunlop'resonator strings are probably the
best so far.High quality phosphor bronze and well
balanced.They come with an extra .018(B string)for
adding a little more mass to the high D string. I
tried the extra .018 and it's exactly what I've been
looking for. .016' are kind of wimpy if you do alot
of single string playing. I'm comparing these to
D'Addario EJ42 reso strings. My usual preferance.
I really like the Dunlops better. They seem a little
heavier though the same guage.Just a really well made tonally rich set of strings.

.I have two resonator guitars on which I put these strings, I am trying to learn to play Slide Blues. The strings are working good for me now.

.This is my first experience with the Dunlop strings. They sound good, and are even tonaly. My problem with them is I don't like how they feel. Maybe its the gauge, maybe its me. One thing I did notice right away, finger picked...the Dunlops are no louder than any other set of strings, but with a pick they are much louder. The very heavy gauge does make fingering notes much more difficult. In the future when I want to use fingers and slide I will go back to a regular gauge (13's). Plus the regular set of strings costs about half. As for my recording purposes, (at least so far) I've not heard enough of a difference to warrant keeping the 16's and will be switching back. But if I was gigging and only playing slide, these strings would work very well.
