  • The perfect string
Style: 3-Pack Size: Medium, 13-56
A few years ago I dedicated myself to only acoustic guitar. Since then I’ve tried a variety of strings and I’ve come to the conclusion that the daddario phosphor bronze are simply the most consistent from set to set and for some reason unknown to me seem to have the least problems with intonation on a standard tuned guitar. I have dabbled with both the xt and xs variants as well. For me, there’s are hardly any difference in durability between the standard ej phosphors and the xt’s. The xs does last considerably longer but the feel is much different. I also suspect they have slightly more tension due to the coating but I have not looked at any actual numbers. Im not sure if others have found this to be true, but I cleaned my strings after every practice/play session and for longer periods of practice I will often clean them several times. This significantly increases the string life. They might not retain the brand new zing but the sound is still very pleasing. I will let them go for a full week with several hours a day play time. This is acceptable to me. If I played less they might last longer. All in all a great product. If you need further endorsement, Glaser guitars in Nashville doesn’t used anything else but Daddario. I’d wager Mr. Glaser knows a thing or two. ... show more

  • Good for average players who don’t wanna pay a lot
Style: 3-Pack Size: Light, 12-53
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. ... show more

  • Awesome Price. My favorite strings
Style: 3-Pack Size: Custom Light, 11-52
These strings are my go to strings for my epiphone jumbo acoustic. The strings have a great sound and they last. I do a lot of finger picking and the sound is clear and bright but not to bright. 3 packs for an incredible price. My guitar store charges the same for one pack.
