Tight set for 6 string short scale at B
I needed a fairly high tension set for 6 string LTD EX with 24,75" scale and in B tuning. The tension is fairly consistent throughout the strings, although I'm mainly concerned with the lowest three. Quality is good, the strings tuned up well enough and have remained in tune since. The feel is good, not too rough, but not as slippery as Elixirs, for example.
The .70 string at B has a weird chorus-like effect to it, but it might be just due to the tuner not taking the string too well and having to wind up quite a few turns of the string around the tuner. Other strings went on the guitar normally and do not have this chorus-y sound to them.

Excellence is short lived...
Labella‘s HRS seven string set is, on the face of it, an ideal solution for dropped tunings , since the gauges - particularly on the low strings - is seriously hefty. Upon restringing my 7 with this set, I was pleased with the overall tone and clarity they offered, and dare I say it, the 7th string gauge was almost too thick!
After a days recording I set the guitar aside and looked forward to playing these new strings again. A few days later I picked up the guitar and was disappointed to find that the strings had already lost their sparkle. I am by no means averse to changing strings, and realize that strings do ultimately become dull through corrosion, but the sheer speed of deterioration was surprising.
If looking for well balanced tone for a short period, the HRS set will serve the purpose. My one piece of advice however... clean them thoroughly after each use if you wish to get more than one decent recording.
