    • Great Strings
Style: Light (11-52) Size: 3-Pack
Tried these strings out there fantastic I always have a problem with my D string third string getting little Nicks in it I've tried so many different brands and so many different thicknesses but I haven't had any damage to my D string and I've been playing these for far too long maybe 3 weeks I'm going to change them today but I love the sound I like the look and the durability is amazing only set of strings I've ever had that didn't Nick the D string at the Frets before any other strings were worn ... show more

    • Wonderful light gauge with full sound easy play-ability especially for a 12 string.
Style: 12-String Light (9-46) Size: Single Pack
Light gauge strings for 12 string guitars. I purchased a Martin DX 12 guitar that had a decent sound but needed new strings and some cleaning up. After a complete wipe down and oiling the fret board the strings were easy to figure out although the 12 string guitar takes a little more effort to complete. The end results turned out great. the guitar sounds even better and is very easy to get the sounds wanted. After getting the strings properly stretched the tone and resonance is amazing. I highly recommend Ernie Balls for anyone who has a hard time playing heavier gauges. Definitely improved the already quality sound of the guitar. I will try them out on my vintage 70's Takamine 12 string next ... show more

    • Great Tone and Long Lasting Acoustic Strings
Style: Medium Light (12-54) Size: Single Pack
I have been using these string for years on my Fender acoustic and they have great tone, last a long time without sounding dead or dull and are inexpensive. You will get some squeak out of them, but you can eliminate with technique.

    • Good but not great
Style: Light (11-52) Size: Single Pack
They’re okay I guess. A little deeper more bland tone but they break in and sound a little better they’re comfortable the coating is okay. For the money they’re good though

    • Same great quality as I get from my local music store
Style: Light (11-52) Size: Single Pack
I often buy this brand at my local music store. I took a chance & searched Amazon & they carried the same brand much cheaper. Can't complain about that!

    • Great, affordable strings
Style: Light (11-52) Size: Single Pack
Earthwood PB Lights are the only acoustic guitar strings I use these days. They feel great, sound great, play great. What more can you ask?
