I already don't wanna go back east. :bawl:
 
They're not as bass, lo mid and mid present as SITs, a bit more top end ( I love clank) . They work really well with a '76, my Lull the Jackson, Greco, the Big LP and have had them on the Orville.
I've never tried any of KS's strings. They were and likely still are made by GHS to KS's specs. Going to have to find a reason to buy some.
 
Had a kinda interesting situation on Friday night's gig. The drummer's son(also a drummer)was there with the guitarist he works with. They came up and played a coupla numbers while our 2 went to the bar. The 2 chose to do 2 songs I've never played, but heard 100s of times. One Led Zeppelin, one Tom Petty. (I've never played in a band that did any Zep or Petty. Plus I'm not a TP fan.) Had no problems with either one. As I say, heard both many times over the years.(No, I don't remember what 2 songs they were. I think the Zep mighta been "Hey, hey"[?])
A moment of self approval. Gotta pat my own back, ain't nobody else doin' it. This rig-on this stage.(different amp stand, though)

That one is cheaper and cleaner than some I have seen recently. I know at least one person who's opinion I trust state that they own this model and that they are very well made. I have never had the chance to play one but would like to.

As long as you've been playing, I'm sure you did just fine.
