[p][br]Ta for the heads up JeffS65. [br][br]Brand and construction material/method matter as much as size IMPE. Personally can't abide Elixir Xxxxweb anything on electric, so never bothered trying them on my acoustics. But we've found common ground in that conversation previously.

Uncoated D'Addario EJ16 .12s are my go to for acoustic. Love 'em, but I might give these a try on my APX600 e-acoustic in .11s out of sheer curiosity. Anything facilitating lighter faster fretting without significant loss of tone is good. Be interested to hear what kind of service life you get from them, the only potential downside I can foresee.
