These strings i bought for a stratocaster-type guitar. I like the resistance and response that thick strings give while playing.
This set brings out a a sound that i would describe as very heavy blues tone esp. on then neck pickup. The bright nature of the string material (stainless steel) seems to compensate very well for the more dark sounding tone of half rounds. This shines trough only on clean or slightly overdriven tones. With more distortion the difference to roundwound strings diminishes. The overall balance of tension and tone is surprisingly even across all strings. Although i am used to roundwounds the difference of how the winding feels was not an issue. Finger noise from sliding over the strings is a bit reduced but not absent. However i never liked the feel of stainless steel which somehow reminds me of old damp rusty strings. This is a subjective issue and has nothing to do with sound or quality of the strings.
If the thickness of the strings suits your playing i would encourage you to test them out.

I put it on a semihollow but didn't like the sound or the feeling.
I'm used to thomastik swing flat wounds, so I might be biased..
Maybe I'll give it another go in the future..
