Dunlop Strings; any good?

LANK

I've been tempted by the Zakk Wylde signature strings for a while, especially when they were GHS. Now it appears the license has gone to Dunlop. Are they any cop? Should I avoid at all costs? Should I do brass nut?

ghs still makes the gauge set, it's just no longer under ZWs name.

Ahh, excellent.

10-60 is what I'm after, rather than having to buy two sets of strings to get a decent run of 10-52's.

The Aen aproved Zakk Wyldes are still made by GHS they just lost the licensing deal. They're now the GHS Heavy Weights.

I'm looking at the 10-60 ones specifically. Found a few shops that stock them online, still using the Zakk Wylde license. A few people seem to be saying it's not a good idea to tune up to standard with them. Is that bullshit? I might need to readjust my trem, though.
