    BEST acoustic guitar strings
    I’ve been playing acoustic guitar for twenty years. I’ve tried every string I could get my hands on. I usually gravitate toward D’Addario strings. Their standard phosphor bronze strings are what I typically use.
    The last time I restrung my guitar, I purchased Ernie Ball Earthwood strings at the recommendation of my local music store. I HATED them. From the moment I put them on, my guitar sounded so dead and lifeless. It was like I had put six month old, tarnished strings onto my guitar. Everything was so dull and muted.
    Cue the D’Addario coated phosphor bronze strings. After that terrible experience, I decided to splurge and buy some “expensive” strings. I knew I liked D’Addario, so I figured I’d like expensive D’Addario too. I had high expectations and I was still blown away by these strings.
    Night and day compared to the Earthwood strings. My guitar was load and bright and sang so beautifully. From the very first moment I strung them onto my guitar, before it was even tuned, I knew. These were the strings for me.
    They sound just as good, if not better than the standard D’Addario phosphor bronze strings, but the coating makes them so much more playable. String noise is greatly reduced. The strings are so smooth that my fingers glide up and down the fretboard effortlessly. They’ve been on my guitar for a few weeks now, and they still look and play like they’re brand new. No hint of tarnish anywhere on the strings.
    At over double the price of the standard phosphor bronze strings, I don’t think these would be more cost effective. I don’t think I’ll get over double the life out of these over a standard set of strings, but the added playability and longevity more than makes up for the price difference to me. I’ll probably use these strings for the rest of my life.

    Wonderful Guitar Strings, Play Easy, Sound Excellent
    Keeping it simple: they feel super smooth and nice to play, they stay in tune super well, and they sound fantastic to my ears.
    If you have a guitar you don’t play very often, put these strings on there and all of a sudden you’re gonna wish all your guitars had strings this nice.

    These strings saved me from buying new guitar!
    I am thoroughly pleased with these guitar strings. they’re probably twice as much as average strings, but they’re worth every penny. Plus I really believe they save me from buying another guitar. Because my old guitar sounds incredible now. But more than sounds incredible. It’s so much easier to play. We’re talking an acoustic guitar that plays about as easy as an electric guitar now. Yes they’re expensive. But I understand they last much longer than regular strings. If you’re serious about Guitar playing go ahead and invest the money. You will not regret it. I recommend you buy a three pack. You can economize a little bit that way

    Perfect Balance
    I have played a Taylor for many years and mainly used Elixir Light or Custom Light. Occasionally I use regular D’Addario Phosphor Bronze, but not often. I love the way they sound but they “die” too quickly for me. The XS Light Top/Medium are probably the best strings I’ve ever tried on my Taylor. The strings have such unbelievable bass response with the medium but still preserve the bright, beautiful highs with the light side. Within hours of trying them I immediately bought another set to have when they eventually “die” even though I still have Elixirs left.

    Good coated strings, decent price
    I’ve been playing on these for about 2 weeks now and have no complaints. They’re smooth, hold tuning well, and the tone doesn’t seem to lean too far in either the “dark” or “bright” directions on my concert sized acoustic. When compared to Elixer nanowebs of the same size I found them to be very comparable at a lower price.
    Time will tell on their longevity, but I’ll likely give D’addario xs’s a shot on my electric guitar as well, I’ve liked them so much so far.

    GREAT STRINGS! Not worth the price though
    Feeling wise, pretty much the same as the other “nano” string out there. Sound wise, hated them for 3 days because they were super bright (even after stretching). After breaking in they sound fine, maybe not as loud as a nano but sound good. String bending is quite nice I will say. Longevity, I’m actually surprised. The have surpassed their EXP line & definitely their XT line of strings. Like that nano stuff they do not tarnish quick which I like. The only down fall to me for these strings, the price. They aren’t worth it at all. I get that nano stuff regularly in the $12 range and they will last for 2 to 3 months. EJ16’s you can get 3 sets dirt cheap and those 3 sets will last longer than these by at least a month to 2. This is for me, I play anywhere from 1 to 2 hours daily, 7 days a week. If these hold up to longer than 2 months and they drop their price to something appropriate ($12), these would be my everyday strings for sure.
    EDIT: One thing I would like to add, bar none the greatest tuning stability I have seen in any string yet. It’s probably been 3 or 4 hours of playing since the last tweak in tuning. Granted my guitar room/bedroom I keep right around 50% humidity so the guitars don’t change much. When I say any string yet, think this brand, that other famous coated brand, and the sesame street ball brand, are what I have used 🙂
    Update 10/10/2021: They are still going pretty strong at almost 3 months in with 1+ hours a day average use time. Durability seems to be on point with the other major coated brand, and I just noticed that other brand jacked their price up to match these. I am going with a set of EXP16’s after these are dead to see how much of a difference there is. Seems the EXP brand is a bigger favorite over the years.

  7. Excelente a cuerdas!! El sonido realmente es fascinant, depende también tu guitarra, yo tengo una Epiphone Electroacústica

    These are the best string I have played with in 50 years. Great tone, very durable, and they stay in tune much better than all the other strings I have played over the years. Definitely worth it!

  10. Produto bom, cumpre função térmica.

    Excelente! Estou usando a longos messes, ainda mantém afinação e não tem marcas de oxidação. Recomendo.
