It feels good, have to admit but damn, I'm almost pulling my high-E over the top of the neck bending! They're too light. The transition from .012 to .010 is BIG, a lot bigger than I thought it would be. But I can adjust, no prob. I will prolly go back to my .012's at times just to keep my fingers tough and my muscles trimmed though. Faster parts of songs and exercises definetely got a lot easier with the thinner strings though so I'll stick with .010's from now on. .09's and .08's would be too thin for my liking though, I can tell without even trying.
