I'm not a string snob, I go through them too fast. As a pro player, I usually purchase by 12 packs at a time for guitar...and change them every second day or before the next show. I play a lot! That's the way it is with my Tele's... but my Heritage Sweet 16 get a steady diet of Thomastik JS11 strings. Of course, this guitar doesn't see the bars like the Fenders do and for what ever reason, I get great string life out the JS11 sets too. They sound great, feel great, and are worth every nickel. Great strings. The other other strings are for every night...these are for those special nights.

tl;dr: these strings are amazing and definitely worth the $10 extra over chromes, but make sure you can adjust the pole pieces of your pickups, or that you have the old style strat pickup where the G string has the highest pole piece. you will be disappointed otherwise. --- i will gush about these strings below, but first something important for those with pickups that don't have adjustable pole pieces: the core of the G string is very small, which means it is magnetically quiet to pickups. the B string on the other hand is solid wire and very loud magnetically. this is different from modern round wound electric strings where the unwound G is the loudest string. it's also different from chromes which don't have as big of a discrepancy in volume. many pickups without adjustable pole pieces have the pole piece for the G string in the lowest position to compensate for its usual loudness. if you can't adjust your pole pieces, or if you don't have the old stye fender pickups where the G string pole piece is set for a wound G, you will likely notice a huge difference in volume between the G and B strings. i've attached a picture showing how i adjusted my seymour duncan phat cats to compensate for the difference in volume between these two strings. if you can't adjust your pickups for each string or it doesn't have a similar layout of pole pieces, you will likely find that the B string is extremely loud and bright compared to the very quiet G string. if you are playing a melody across the G and B string they will sound extremely different in volume and tone. once adjusted they sound great. --- on to what makes these amazing: if chromes felt like a big step up to you when you first tried them, these will feel like as big of a step up from chromes. they sound and feel great. immediately upon removing the strings from the package they feel different. they are soft and flexible unlike most guitar strings which spring open when you unpack them. they improved the tuning stability of my guitar which i wasn't even aware was possible. with chromes i'd have to tune every time i picked up my guitar. now my guitar stays in tune for days at a time without issue. the string gauge was chosen so tension on each string is very similar. this is very noticeable, as it means all the strings require about the same amount of finger pressure to fret. the intonation adjustment on my guitar has my saddles almost straight across instead of staggered like normal, which i think can be attributed to the similar tension as well. the coating on the B and G string wears off in about a month of playing a few hours a day, but the tone of those strings slightly darkening up is actually a good thing as they are a bit bright out of the package. i likely won't need to replace them unless i need to remove them to work on my guitar. the strings seem to be nearly unbreakable as well. i've detuned and retuned them all several times while adjusting my intonation which can cause strings to become brittle and snap (d'addario i'm looking at you). i also bend the first three strings often and they have held up great and stay in tune after bending. these strings are to me obviously worth the extra $10 compared to chromes. they feel like way more than a 50% improvement in quality. get 'em! you definitely won't regret it.
