D'Addario Balanced Tension Strings

Now here is a truly fantastic idea! This problem which all guitarists have learned to live with is finally being solved logically. I am jazzed to try these innovative new strings and will be sure to review them when I string up next.

Please read the great page that D'Addario has put together:

Balanced Tension

And have a look here:


These string tensions will probably relieve a majority of the neck issues that guitars tend to have "seasonally". While I believe that seasonal humidity changes do affect guitars, I also believe that necks acclimate themselves to both the humidity (if applied in a controlled slow manner) and to unbalanced tension.

Now only to get them to make a set of flat wound strings this way...
