These strings are perfect for any southern style music; sound clean and beautiful when plucked with the fingers, warm and loud when plucked with a pick, and bright, sassy, VERY loud and just purely badass when plucked with a metal pick! I prefer these with a heavy copper slide. The only thing I dont like is that the D and especially the G string always snap long before the others but that may be because I have my resonator in open E and A tunning all the time. What I love about these over all is the volume; these strings are LOUD!
