[br]Wasn't aware of these D'Addario equivalents. Thanks for the pointer finger.

Reading D'Addario's spiel and tonality description though, in reconsideration regardless the feel, the tone and unamplified volume probably won't work for me on the thin cutaway body of the APX where the EJ16s tone excels and is just what I'm wanting. [br][br]Might well given the EJ40s a try out on my Concert acoustic instead of those Ernie Balls in .11s. The downside. Even compared with EJ16s they're pricey in my country single set buy ($25), x2½ times their street price in the USA. Ouch! I've been conditioned to sourcing and buying all my strings in x10 pack bulk for too long. o.O
