Omg. These strings have changed my life. Beautifully balanced tone and feel. Put a set of Broadways on my Greeny Standard and Signatures on my modded 01 Classic. I am super picky about high end and I get what I can only describe as an angelic halo from each set. I just can’t get over how great these strings are. Other than a brief flirtation with NYXLs, I’ve been using Boomers for 40 years. Can’t say enough about them, except… man, are they expensive!😂 I just need to switch the sets up to see if I love the Signatures or Broadways best.

I do like their strings, but my take is that for E standard to C# standard tunings I use 10-46, 11-50, and 12-52 wound third DR Pure Blues or 10-46, and 11-50 GHS Burnished Nickel strings. I have used the 11-50, and 12-52 Broadways, and I agree they are great, but my favorites are still the round core DR Pure Blues for both tone and playing feel. For C standard to A standard I use the String Joy Signatures in custom sets ranging from 13-64 to 15-70 gauge. I prefer them by a good bit over the Ernie Ball and Diaddario sets in similar ranges when I can find them. Nobody makes a 14-68 or 15-70 set that I've seen

I really like the Stringjoys. Switched to them when someone here on this forum suggested them after my supply of Snake Oil Strings ran out.

You should really try Pyramids( made in Germany!) String Joys are good, but I think Pyramids sound better &: last longer!
