D'Addario Guitar Strings - Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - EJ16-3D - Rich, Full Tonal Spectrum - For 6 String Guitars - 12-53 Light, 3-Pack

These are my go-to for 20 years. Reasonably priced, great strings that don't tend to break unless by my own idiocy. There are more expensive brands, coated, with gimmicky promises, these are better (in my view). Strings that claim to last longer never do, strings that claim theyre brighter may be brighter, but not for very long. No BS, good, reliable strings that sound and play great. Don't fall for hype strings, your wallet and your music will thank you. Pro tip. If you wash your hands before you play, you could extend the brightness and life of your strings far beyond what an gexpensive gimmick set ever could.

I will keep this short. The price is unbelievable, it's nice to have three sets in a box and these are the best acoustic strings on the market. That's only my opinion and everyone has one......so many will disagree. I have an regular acoustic and an acoustic electric and strung both with these strings. It made each guitar sound like a 3 thousand dollar guitar. I find that most inexpensive guitars have cheap strings, most can be vastly improved with something as simple as new strings. I really believe in these strings. When I find a good thing, I am hooked and I will not use anything BUT these on anything acoustic. On a guitar, strings are everything. The tone feel and bend is what's important. These are very light and VERY easy on the fingers, unlike clunky stock strings on most acoustics. I guess they think you need big, think strings to produce volume....not so. Some will disagree saying they break if they're too thin. I would rather have a shorter life with strings, getting a pure beautiful, rich sound than have a long lasting flat string. My thick stock strings were killing my fingers. These are effortless to play and sound so sweet and mellow, just like an acoustic should sound. Again, someone will chime in and bash me for saying this...but I would put my inexpensive Yamaha up against guitars costing 10 times what I paid. I have no plans of changing brands now I've made the string switch. Some say thin strings break easily, but you should change strings often anyway. I can do a string change-over in about 15 minutes on a bad day. It's worth the effort. I don't plan on hammering my acoustic anyway. That's what the Fender is for. AND it's not that I'm cheap either. I own 18 guitars, 16 of which are electrics. 3 Gibson Les Paul's, 2 Fender Strats (one American) a couple of Dillions (another great find) and some other nice guitars. My Acoustic is just an inexpensive Yamaha 700 but is a very nice guitar for the money. But after changing the strings it sounds like an expensive Martin. It didn't take me long to throw a set of these on my acoustic electric and got the same results. 5 stars in my book, more if they'd allow that. There are no other options unless someone gives me a set that blow me away.

Longest lasting strings I know . . they don't stretch much, which makes the guitar stay in tune longer.

I’m certainly no professional or anything like that but I play guitar all the time. Because of that I run through strings fairly rapidly, so for the price these are a good option. Honestly, the reason I give 4 stars is because to me the sound fades pretty quickly, but they last well after they fade and because I’m just playing for fun, I just keep playing them despite the sound not being so great. So for the money and the initial sound quality they are perfect for me because all I really need is strings that can last a while and let me enjoy playing without emptying my wallet. Also I usually get the light(sometimes custom light), and not only have I never had a string break while stringing it like some other reviews have reported, but typically I don’t have a string break until well after it feels like one should. Also if I had to guess most people who complain of strings breaking either don’t know how to string a guitar or(and) are using extra light strings because I have with another brand had the extra light G strings pop while stringing which is one of the several reasons I don’t use extra light anymore. Those strings are just too tiny and too easy to break. I had to replace my saddle because I was breaking strings like crazy a while back. It was always my B string and finally I realized the saddle had a sharp pit in it that was cutting my strings. I was wanting to upgrade to bone anyway so it worked out and I haven’t had anymore issues with strings breaking before expected.

I have been playing medium strings for a few years now. I'm old my- wrist hurts. So, I tied these light strings. My wrist still hurts but these are great strings. Easy to play and sound great. Bright with sustain. Phosphor Bronze, EJ16, Light Gauge 12-53

Good sounding strings.

Great tone and long lasting strings. Perfect for my my Martin D28

I usually play classical (nylon string) guitar, but have an Ovation deep-bowl acoustic electric as well and after the original strings wore out, I never have found strings that I really liked (don't ask me why I never thought about contacting Ovation and asking them what they use from the factory. One of those duh things I didn't even think of until just now). Based on reviews and questions answered here on Amazon, I purchased this triple-set of strings. Instant gratification. First, they tuned up quickly and retained their tune on a relatively respectable basis (no new string holds tune perfectly for the first couple of days, but these retained tune fairly well). The sound is excellent, the playability comfy. The tone of my Ovation was back. Here are my itemized observations: * First, three sets for $13 (currently). Cannot beat the value for price. * BRILLIANCE. What many people call "bright", brilliance is the opposite of "dull". Some strings sound dull right out of the package. These strings are brilliant, bringing out the full tone and maximum volume from the guitar. * TONE. The natural tone of the guitar is allowed to shine through, no hint of "tinniness", "plunk" or "twang". * MELLOW. Mellow is difficult to define, but the best definition I've heard is, "Ah, that sounds nice." Mellow is a string settling into a guitar and becoming part of the guitar. It's a pleasantness that doesn't grate on your ears when you pluck a string. These strings are medium-mellow, just enough to allow one to enjoy the sound without falling asleep. : ) * BALANCE. At first the E overtoned the b and e. But as the strings settled that became less pronounced and the strings balanced right out. The trebles became clearly audible while the E and A provided just the right touch of bass. * COMFORT. The 12-53mm diameter of these strings is comfortable to the fingers. Thicker strings are often more difficult to play and can even damage some guitars. Lighter gauge tends to cut into the fingers unless the guitar has excellent action. These strings are just right-- especially the 53mm E, which provides the proper amount of bass without overkill or difficulty in strumming. SUMMARY: These are excellent strings, which doesn't surprise me since I've use D'Addario classical guitar strings for years. Martin and GHS are both good strings, but somehow D'Addario just shines. Thanks to Amazon enthusiasts who helped me decide to give these a try. Highly recommended.

As cordas são boas recebi. Mas fui sim taxado a mais . E depois apareceu outra empresa cobrando novamente essa taxa novamente. Não entendi . Parece haver um vazamento de dados .

Pure sound you will enjoy .

Die Saiten hatte ich vorher auch schon auf meiner Martin. Sind top. Die Verpackung war übel gewählt. Leider als Weihnachtsgeschenk nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. Schade. Da sollte gerade in dieser Zeit drüber nachgedacht werden. Aber wie gesagt.... Die Saiten lassen sich leicht spielen und haben einen tollen Klang....

Mycket bra strängar

Très bon jeu de corde qui m'a servi avant de passer sur des Nickel Bronze toujours de chez D'Addario, c'est une marque que j'affectionne beaucoup, qui n'a plus à faire ces preuves, je recommande donc fortement.
