I've been using these strings in D standard on a 25,5" scale length guitar for some time now, and I must say, I've grown to love these strings more than any other I have tried. They sound great, and more importantly, they feel great to play, and for a long time too. With diligent string cleaning, these strings easily last double or triple as long as a standard set of uncoated strings for me personally. In terms of feel, I'd describe them as 70% uncoated, 30% coated (think Elixir Nanowebs). So they lie somewhere between the two extremes, and that happens to suit me very well. They're grippy enough that you don't slip and slide all over the place, but still noticeably smoother than uncoated strings. Excellent!
