So... has anyone tried the PRS strings? I've been using D'Addario 10's for Standard Tuning for at least a decade... probably longer. I go to 11's if I'm dropping to D Standard or Open C Major. How would they compare?

Is there anything different about them?The PRS strings are made by D’Addario
It seems the strings on my brand new SS blacken my fingers, which has not happened with other brands. They sound thoroughly stratty, though.

My finger tips get charcoal grey when I play new Ernie Ball Super Slinky’s until they break in. It’s sort of like a graphite film on the tips of my fingers. I just tried a set of NYXLs and that didn’t happen to me.
I am such a freak. I just found this picture from two years ago.
Man, you must hug that fretboard!
I think so, but couldn’t tell you what. People have said that the regular d’addario don’t sound quite the same.Is there anything different about them?
According to PRS, from the website:
PRS Signature Series Strings are nickel-plated steel strings with hex-shaped, high-carbon steel core. They feature a proprietary, reformulated alloy that provides greater magnetic property for louder, brighter tone and soldered ends that extend string life and help the guitar stay in tune.
A proprietary alloy means that the alloy used is exclusive to PRS Signature strings - not used by other strings. They also have Soldered ends too
...
It does appear that the Signature series though are 'unique' to PRS as they use a Proprietary alloy - even if they are made by D'addario exclusively for PRS
