Review: After 2 decades of playing, I finally found the PERFECT strings. 🤘 - LOVE THE WAY THESE SOUND! Been playing for 2 decades and these are BY FAR the absolute best strings I have ever used. They wind really smoothly and are easy to string. The sound is just absolutely exactly what I’ve been searching for all these years of simply using basic Earnie Balls. They have a great feel to them. It felt like an immediate upgrade on my guitar. I also love the color- it’s more unique than what I’ve been using. I honestly bought these because I’m an Eric Clapton fan, but will continue to buy them because they are most definitely my new favorite. They just feel and function differently- better. It’s almost an indescribable quality. I was very disappointed when I went to buy another pack and couldn’t find them though. I hope desertcart will keep these in stock and readily available.
Review: Improved the sound of my acoustic! - Very good strings. Crisp and clear. Good sustain. I would purchase again.

Very good strings. Crisp and clear. Good sustain. I would purchase again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rich New Voice On My Acoustic Guitar
*by J***H on February 18, 2024*

I had been playing a Recording King Dirty 37 Series with the stock D'Adarrio strings on it for over 1.5 years. It is a very warm sounding parlor sized guitar, inexpensive but well made, easy playing and pleasing tone. Eventually the high E broke and it was time for new strings. I am not a fan of D'Adarrio, so I decided to give the Martin Eric Clapton strings a try. I was honestly surprised at the tonal difference/improvement. A musician relative of mine had done several informal acoustic jams with me but when he first heard it with the Martin EC's he assumed it was a new guitar and I received many compliments on its rich new voice. I truly seems that different guitars may have certain strings that just fit better. When the time comes I will try a set on my Epiphone Masterbilt Deluxe archtop. Highly recommended.
