D'Addario EJ13 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Custom Light 11-52

I've been using these guitar strings for several years now. I use them in both of my acoustics. They sound great on both guitars, stay in tune and and are pretty easy on the fingers. Very good price too ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That might sound too drastic, but... I was replacing a set of Elixirs out of which I got 2,5 months of daily playing. I put on strings from low E to high E, getting each string in tune before I put on the next one. As I was tuning the G string, D string which I tuned right before it suddenly snapped. What the hack? I've been playing this particular guitar since 2012, but I decided to examine the G tuner hole to see if there was something wrong with its edge, but it was fine. So there goes another string from a different pack. Now on to the way they sounds on my jumbo Alvares. The sound is unbalanced, over bright, lacks in bass and is forced. But the true problem with these strings that they can only be played with a pick. I spend more time playing fingerstyle and these strings are like a perfect chainsaw for fingernails. Would I ever buy these string again? No. Would I put them on my guitar if somebody gave them to me as a gift? No. Would I give them to somebody as a gift? Well if I wouldn't like the person that they were going to strangulate with these strings - I would! 2 stars Amendment 1 After several weeks of playing I actually like the played-in sound. Upgrading my vote to 3 stars. Amendment 2 These strings still ruin my nails like no other strings ever have, when I strum strum them without a pick. But that aside, after two months of playing them daily with sweaty fingers, they still sound neither dull or nor muffled, but rather surprisingly pleasant and balanced. My favorite Elixir Polyweb would have lost their original sound by now and their famed coating would have pealed and be hanging off the strings. But these strings just keep going. Upgrading my vote to 4 stars. Amendment 3 Feb 1 2023 All right - it has been three months of playing these strings, at least an hour every day. And - despite them even sometimes being exposed to my cheddary fingers (wine + cheese + guitar), they still sound GOOD. This is truly remarkable. Yes, Polyweb keeps the bright side of played-in sound longer, but no strings have ever kept it up to such abuse without sounding like a dying cat. (I love cats.)

The strings are sturdy and have a bright sound. The plucking tone is beautiful and clear, so the guitar sounds really good. I think I made a great purchase. Thank you.

Well done

Stings have been reliable and love that each set is packaged individually. I have thee on a few acoustics and the have a great tone for the price a last a lot of hours of playing.

Good

Replaced all 5 strings on a Lyle 692. Sounds great.

Good strings for normal play. Durable. Really good sound. Tunes easily. Remains tuned. Doesn't hurt your fingers. Feels good to the touch.

These have been great strings. I’ve played many sets over many years. These are as good or better than any. I read the negative reviews and wonder where they come from. The only time I’ve ever busted a string when installing them is if there is a burr on the saddle or nut. Not the string’s fault for that. I play about 1.5-2 hours a day, often with not the cleanest hands, they stayed bright enough to noodle for about 2 months. That’s pretty good.great value. Great sound. Both on a short scale and full dreadnaught. Play on girls and boys.

The name Daddario is enough to purchase this strings. Great sounding strings. You can go with it.

There's a reason that D'Addario are one of the main players in the guitar strings market — a wide range of gauges and styles, and consistently good quality. I rarely buy any other brand for either my guitars or my basses.

I have been using these strings for years They are standard but I have found them to be the most efficient purchase for me in regards with price-to-quality.
