@Jon Moody Are they now...GHS 4L-RBB Pressurewound Bronze? What's the story behind the change/if any?

Looking for light gauge round core strings (want to find a successor to my beloved TI Bronze)

They are. That happened a couple years ago.

The story behind the change? Everyone makes roundwound phosphor bronze strings, but most players hate the annoying string squeak that you get from them. I figured we could rollerwind them (like the Pressurewounds) to eliminate them.

I was right.

Then later on, I gave them the same construction as Balanced Nickels (two covers per string), and here we are.
