Just want to share my
Humble opinioni like daddario 10s and ernie ball rps .10s they are both good with their own strengths and characteristics.
strung my tele with daddario for the first time after a decade of owning the guitar....
the daddario imho has a tight full and bright tone... i'm not so sure about this but i think the output is slightly hotter with these strings. (more sizzle on my tele)
they have a stiffer and hard feel. and my fingers hurt a bit when i play these for a long time. but i love the tone on my telecaster. maybe i should get .095
The eb rps .10s are easier to bend and have a soft feel on the hands compared to daddario. they sound slightly round and warmer than daddarios but not dark sounding. i've been bending these strings crazy for 5 months now and none of my strings have broken! my hats off to EB for creating RPS...
I prefer daddario strings for my telecaster because of the tone of the wound strings on the bridge pickup, even if I find it stiff for bending, The twang sound is so good with these strings
Tone vs comfort ...... tone wins
For my other guitar (prs se soapbar2) i choose EB Rps for a comfortable playing feel.
it helps tame the harshness and bright tone of the p90 pickups and aluminum tailpiece on my prs
For a guy who cant afford to swap out pickups on a regular basis. string experimentation is the best way to go
Just my opinion based on my preferences and experience
