Anybody have experience with these on their Collings? Thinking of putting a medium set (13-61) on my Collings 01 tuned down to D standard.

I put a set on my Collings Baby- Maple, and the strings made a significant difference! The Maple sides and back, coupled with a German top was a tad on the bright side to me, and the Plectrum strings toned her down to an awesome sound.

DJ I used Thomastiks on an 01a I used to have. They sounded nice & warm. I did end up scraping the silk wrapping off the E & A strings since the 61 was filling up the pin hole to the point that the bridgepin had no room to seat properly.

Had a set of 12s on my D2H. Definitely darker than PBs or 80/20s, and they were pretty durable for my purposes ... you should try a set.

TI strings are great. There's a rather big difference between Spectrum and Plectrum strings. Be careful with that .061 6th string. It may not fit properly in your bridge with its bridge pin.
