A couple of years ago, my local shop was out of D'Addario 10's and I needed strings. So I bought some Slinkys. Strung them up, and started playing UNPLUGGED. In the next room, my wife shouted "What the heck did you do to your guitar? It sounds AWFUL."
Been back to D'Addario's since. :)

Oh, Thank God it's just not me. I originally bought Ernie Balls to put on my 3 saddle Lite Ash Tele with Seymour Duncans because I heard Dangerous Don Rich used em'. They're alright on that guitar (I tune down a whole step on that one), but they really bad on Modern Tele bridges. Luckily I happen to have some 9-42 D'Addarios here...
