I have an older Pono AT-CR I bought used... It came with the thickest Worth clears, I think they are called heavy or something. After I wore those out, I put standard Aquilas on it. My Pono sounded horrible! Lots of dead sounding notes, and the high G sounded way louder than the rest of the strings. Then I put the thick clear Worths on again, and, it returned to sounding awesome.
I DO get why some people don't like these strings... they are very thick and take more effort to play with... they make your finger pads sore until you get used to them... and they are certainly better for picking than for strumming... but it's totally worth it.
I tried some of the thickest Loprinzi clear strings as well once, which were pretty nice also... but nothing I've put on gets the tone and balance as these heavy Worth clears do.
BTW: When buying Worth strings, you will probably look at the price and say something like "WHAT?!? $15 for a set of strings??? No #%&@! way!
OK- Take a deep breath! You get TWO sets for that price. Each string is as long as two normal length strings... Your extra set is always ready and waiting!
PS: Strings By Mail has a pretty good selection with OK prices... and they deliver FAST... but they do charge for shipping...
