My roomie is buying a bunch of shit and I'm thinking about throwing these in on his order. I love thick strings, right now I'm playing on the Heavy Bottom EB strings.

I get heavy bottoms and hybrid slinkies, string my tele with EAD of the hybrids and GBe of the heavy bottoms (same gagues as a regular slinky set) and use the others on my Dime, so it's heavy bottom end but super light top strings

As for he "not even slinkies", they could probably tear your guitar in half if it's in standard tuning

The E string is like a G string on a bass.

Last time I got a guitar one of the people in the shops was talking about them.. "not even slinkies - real man's strings"

Depends on the natural action of the guitar, I suppose.. I know I just put eb hybrids on a low end strat of mine and it was almost unplayable in standard tuning.. I usually use slinky to super slinky on that rig and they work fine.
