I finally installed my free set of Cobalts on the Reverend Club King. The old set wasn't very old, so a comparison will be fair and relatively close. I was not expecting any noticeable difference in tone.

I must admit that these strings sound really, really good. Unplugged, they resonate well and are loud. Plugged in, they clearly have more individual string definition. More clarity, if you will. I was not expecting such a big difference.

So, the hype and marketing was actually based on something real for once.

Next up are a set of Gibson Vintage Reissues, but I'm not sure which guitar will get them...
