I have been a Pro-Arte EJ standard and LP user for some time

I have been a Pro-Arte EJ standard and LP user for some time.
I find that they suit both my Vincente Sanchis Model 40 and D'Giorgio Belson model 38 very well. Although they are distinctly different guitars . The Sanchis being bright and punchy while the D'giorgio is mellow and 'moody'. They suit me too. They are certainly a good place to start if you are looking for a well balanced output that is reliable over many replacements. The EJ45lps are a special treat as the are so much less squeaky when having to make long positional changes.

The strings are great, but my name is NOT Garnet.

Very good.

Like that does not make noise for recording. Nice!
