My go-to's for many years, but maybe a touch too much for standard tuning
I've been using these strings on my guitar for many-many years now.
Only now am I realizing that maybe, playing 12s in standard tuning is not the best idea.
These strings work quite well for something like Drop C or maybe even D Standard tuning. If you play in standard tuning, I would suggest looking at some lighter gauge strings. Hammer-ons and pull-offs on the 1st fret are quite difficult in standard tuning with these strings (or at least they were on my cheap Peavey), and that's what finally did me in to look towards lighter gauges for standard tuning.
All in all, great strings for the price, but do have a moment to think about what strings you're using right now and how much more tension these strings bring to the table.

Great Choice for C tuning
I use these strings since 2011, i love them, i use them to tune to Standard C on 25.5 inch scale guitar. Tension is perfect for me, no problem with intonation (if guitar is set up correctly) sounds bright and they last really long (as long as you keep your guitar in the case if unused).
if you look to C tuning, this one will do the job perfectly.

I've used d'addario string for years now. I've had flings with other brands, but I allways seem to come back to the sound and feel of this brand.
After tuning my Edwards Les Paul to D-standard and later to C#-standard, I had to try a different gauge.
I like my strings quite thick, so I found this set (and the EXL148 for my Gibson Explorer that have a lower tension for some reason) and I could not be happier!
I do wish that the g-string was wound, but that is more of a misjudgement from my side than from D'addario.
However I think my next set will again be these strings, since even the competators can't give me something that sounds this good and sounds so fresh for so long.

As expected
Good quality. Use it for 27 Baritone in C tuning, perfect tension for that

These are a few of my favourite strings
Love these 12s from D'Addario. They last a long time, and I can pack my guitar away after rehearsal and come back the next week and it's still in tune.

Only good Strings for C Standard
I have been playing guitar for a little over 10 years and I really love these strings. I have tried brands such as GHS, Ernie Ball, Dr, and more, but these seem to have one of the best feel. They have a real clarity in tone and are a great match especially for someone starting out playing, it will help their fingers not bleed as much because of the feel. The only brand that I think is a bit better is Dean Markley Blue Steels. They last longer, are brighter, and I am liking the feel a bit better as well. None the less, for the price and over all value, these strings are awesome, and even in my house, you will find a dozen sets ready to string up!
I use this on C Standard Tuning and Drop #A, also kown as the "In Flames tuning"

Almost perfect for C# and D standard if you prefer tension
Sounds and feels great. Would be better if the 20p was a wound string.

Much too thin - I play bass
I got them for a guitarist buddy. They look nice but they haven't improved his playing. Send them back I guess...

My go to for low Mastodon style tunings
Great strings, don't corrode for me as much as ernies do. Hold tune very well and sound massive
