I have used Ernie Ball strings exclusively for over 50 years. They are packaged well, hold their tone better than any other string on the market, and are value priced. You can never go wrong with these strings.

These are good strings. A little too bright for me. Sounds changley when you strum them. Not to my liking, but they would be ok if you are on a tight budget.

    • My favorite strings
Style: Medium (13-56) Size: 3-Pack
For my D-18 and D-28 this is my go to string. Yes they corrode quickly but that’s the point. When these are a few weeks old they just make the guitar sound old and rustic. The tone is like nothing else. I’ve played all the other expensive strings that purport to give you the best tone, but for my Martins these just sound the best. ... show more

I’ve used Martin strings for years but thought I would try this brand. Durability and tone are my priorities. Since I’ve just begun using this item, time will tell if my preferences are met.
