Advantages: Great sound, easy to install Disadvantages: Not great for hammers... Solos.
Last week I bout my first set Of D'Addario Guitarstrings (Orangle Knickle wound XL) and to be honest at first I thought I was playing with ropes, these things sounded amazing but were as thick as.. well as thick as really thick metal. I persume the guy I asked in the shop to select me some strings for the guitar I owned mabe could have been given a little more information or he wasn't a super assistant.
However after playing an hour a day.. ish for about a week I love them, theyre waw. I can bend them twice as much as my previous strings and the sound especiall from the E is just awesome. This was my first time replacing strings and their fantastic colour coded instructons made it very easy for me highly recommended.
the only other concern is when ever I am performing hammers with these they are very faint, if not at all audible ...
Advantages: Great well known strings. Disadvantages: Suck with tone towards the end of their life.

EXPLAINATION TIME :
Right not a lot of that above will mean much to non-guitarists, or beginners so I ...
If you've read many of my op's you've probably figured out I'm a musical type of person, but not the type that jingles whilst walking.
For years I have enjoyed playing rhythm guitar both privately and on the road but never more so than on my Yamaha 12String. It's a lovely full size instrument that creates amazing volume even without an amp, and by far outdoes all the other acoustics I have had or used in the past, and I have had some nice ones.
The overall design is pretty standard at first glance, but if you look a little closer, or better yet actually try one you can appreciate the really low fretting that gives a very smooth action, and in the case of my one having dreadnought fretting it's even smoother.
The head of the guitar is well shaped also, and fitted out with chrome keys that really set of the rose wood neck ...
