ORIGINAL: mark indigo quote:
Right now I am using EJ46TT and I did notice they also do feel soft on my right hand which I kind of like. I have used EJ46TT quite a bit, since I bought a guitar with them on it, and I liked the sound and feel of the guitar (which is why I bought it!). I quite like them, definitely a lot more than the so-called "flamenco" EJ25B strings. If kitarist is right about the tension of the EJ25B flamenco set, then you are switching from high tension bass and trebles (EJ46TT) to medium/normal tension basses and high tension trebles (EJ25B). EDIT: see above post for tension more info. Mark, I put the EJ25B E and B treble strings on last night. I only played about an hour so probably too soon to really tell, but so far I feel positive about these strings. My sense is that they are stiffer and higher tension than the EJ46TT and have more sustain and volume which is typical of carbon strings, but I like these better than other other carbon strings I have tried. My tremolo definitely felt easier and sounded more clear. I think I am going to put the EJ46TT on my old guitar to give them some more time although my new guitar is much better. While I was testing them out my wife said it sounded good (she didn't know I had changed strings) and that is something she says about once a year so that probably says more than what I could perceive.
