I've used Ernie Ball 2223 Super Slinkys on electrics a couple of times Herman. After that experience, I didn't bother trying them on my acoustics if memory serves accurately.

They did feel nice enough on the fingers and I had no issue with how they sound [u]immediately after fitting[/u], but they go 'off' (as in lose tone and sound dead) too quickly. D'Addarios last me much longer before they start to sound anywhere near as lacklustre. [br][br]I know some guys swear by Ernie Ball and Slinkys in their preferrred gauge, but they're not for me.
