S- Tuning
A+ Tech
Clean, balanced, dark leaning, tame bass and treble/needs to be listened at higher-volume. Still a mid-range set, but vocals don't pop as much as OG RSV, aka the sauce is gone. Scales great if you want a clean vocal sound, but very pricey, maybe on sale.

Great set for jazz/blues/soul/acoustic. Thick and lush. Warm but with nice treble extension. Solid tech. Vocals can be overly husky and buried in busier songs.
