Brand: Fender
Type: Original 150's (150 R)
Gauge: .010 - .046
Type of Guitar used: Fender Am. Standard Telecaster

Sound: 4
        It's a standard sound, kinda light, but not too light, not that deep either. It's a standard mellow set.
Durability: 4
         Durability is ok. The brightness lasts a couple of weeks, then they mellow out. They do tend to break sometimes when stringing up.
Feel: 3
         They cut into my fingers alot. They are slightly too thin and I'm afraid to strum full force or bend strongly.
Overall: 3
          They are a standard set, not my favorites, but I don't hate 'em either.
Complaints: Too thin, and the sound isn't rich enough

        The sound is thin, however it does allow you to hit some REALLY piercing high notes better than other gauges.
Durability: 2
         They tend to break more easily due to the lightness of the set.
Feel: 1
         They are FAR too thin for my tastes, they have literally cut into my fingers on a couple of occasions.

          I myself can't bear to use them, they feel and sound too thin.
