Probably. If you are not using ZOG strings. (see link below)
I have to say that I am a believer and I am now using these strings. I have some spares, and at this point in time I will probably replace and order more. I will let you know how they hold up. Right now I like them better than Elixirs, but I don't think they will last nearly as long.
FYI I am using a 9 set on my Tele - its sounds Tele Spanky and surprised the hell out of me. I always thought 9s were wimpy and failed to understand the Tele Spank connection - thanks to the magic of the ZOGs (and the recommendation of their legendary inventor) I am now a believer that some guitars simply need a certain kind of strings. Silly me I am playing my Tele more than ever so there is something to it - no doubt. Also I put a 10 set on my Onyx Forge and like the improved tone especially overdriven.
Without a doubt I will change out strings on my other players but for the moment I'm not quite to throwing out otherwise fresh strings until I have a big gig or recording project to motivate me.
Sound wise they sound like D'Addarios which is what I now have several new unused sets of sitting around - I'll probably give them away.
With these strings I am finding more tone and a more natural playing style across the strings. The theory behind this string seems to feel correct.
Intersting the strings are NOT labeled as to gauge and there are no specs, but not to worry as they are so reasonably priced as to make it silly to search elsewhere or build your own sets. (Also I suspect perhaps some of the sizes are not off the shelf spec.)
