I've been using my own, made-up, custom gauge on a 1997 MiJ Jackson DKMGT with .48 on the bottom in D standard ( I play mostly death, melodeath and thrash metal on it) and I wasn't that satisfied with the strings I tried out in the past two years.
I tried multiple .50's, even from Ernie Ball which is the exclusive brand I use, and I wasn't quite satisfied with the results. There were always one or two properties against my taste.
This one string changed it all in just 2 days!!! It's super tight/tense, sounds balanced and resonantes well, while also feeling very natural, smooth and lightweight under my fingers. I change them once a month, so I know they will feel and sound this way the whole month, with proper maintenance. It was just what I needed!
I will definitely buy a couple more of them and set a 0.095-0.50 gauge up - I will finally have no issues playing in D and then down-tuning to Drop C/C Standard in the middle of a gig. That will totally come in hand since I won't be needing to carry more guitars to the venues.
