Can anybody give me feedback about Earl Scruggs Signiture light strings. Do they really make a difference,would I have to use them with a particular type of bridge? I have a Cort CB35 Banjo.

I practice and play nearly every day and feel that they last as long as can be expected for any good set of strings. They sound great, plus if they were good enough for Earl they're good enough for me. Also they feel just fine. I just received three sets of them from Just Strings yesterday. Joe
