D'AddarioAcoustic Guitar Strings, XT Phosphor Bronze Coated, XTAPB1253-3P, Light Gauge 12-53, 6-String Set, Pack of 3

These are fantastic strings. I've tested several brands of strings, and these are by far the best. They are very durable, they produce a great sound, and they are easy on the fingers when fretting.They perform well, they won't break the bank, and the quality is top-notch. For the price, there is no reason why you should not try these. The only issue I've had with them is that the G string snapped when I was retuning after fixing the guitar action. However, he first time I re-strung the guitar with these strings, I had no issues.

Very good quality sound; steely sounding when you strum, but pleasant sounding and does not lean too bright. The sustain is also long. It is not very loud but can get loud enough for yourself and loud enough to be heard on a one story house everywhere(except the busy garage maybe).Easy to tune but let me tell you something before the tuning review. I broke the low E string because I misjudged my octave, so I'll have to buy another one. I haven't changed strings since over half a year. First time I pulled a string, but the string had a safety feature where it won't just come flying about whipping anything it can hit. There was a metal wire inside the coated string which the coated string is coiled over. The metal wire snapped off but coated string where the snapping point is just stretched a little, keeping the metal wire still inside. When all that happened, I didn't injure myself, nor did it give me hypertension; I just heard a soft and quiet bang that let me know I f'd up. I had a weird sequence of fear then massive relief only after I snapped the string. Friendly set of strings. I am currently using the old low E string. I don't know actually if it's the same case with higher note strings.Anyways, like a normal new string it requires stretching. However, this one is very smooth to tune. When tuning, the string wasn't clanging and the pitch do not spike up or down when I spin those tuning handles; just a smooth and gradual increase and decrease in pitching as I was staring at my digital tuner.The strings are very easy on the hands whether you pluck or strum. I can never handle a guitar pick without it slipping so I mainly pick with my fingers and these strings were really amazing. I cleared dust in the wind and sweet child intros easily where I would have struggled with my old strings. I cleared them easy and fast. Some mistakes like plucking a couple strings instead of one gets covered up and even harmonizes well, but in all fairness, some pieces are probably not too sensitive about inaccuracies.The strings are easy to press probably even when your strings are a little too high action. Mine are low action on the nut side so it has been quite effortless. The strings are thin so they kinda seem like they'd cut your finger, but they're comfortably mild and it feels like it would be easy to develop your fingertips(calluses) with these than pushing through rock solid thick strings that are hard to make a note out of.Overall, great set of strings, will be way better when I get the proper low E string soon.Edit: Got my low E string about less than a week ago, and it's just been golden. I really love how these strings sound and how easy they are to play with.

It lasts a while if you use it frequently enough. I’ve been buying these strings for a while they are the right price and quality perfect length for just about any guitar. The sound is definitely amazing the chords have a fine clarity to them.

I like the strings, the quality of strings were very smooth and not hurting my fingers. It is much easier to play my guitar now than before. Good value for the money and they come with long strings, which you can cut as per your guitar size.As per functionality, it’s easy to install and works well.

I've tried a lot of acoustic guitar strings over the years, but these are the winner for me. I use the extra light gauge on my mahogany Martin to accompany my singing... strumming and finger-style and they sound absolutely gorgeous. I play daily and I usually change them every three months. Much longer than uncoated strings, which I think sound pretty dead after 2 weeks.

I have to love this company they stand behind their products and the environment! These strings produce great sound they have lasted longer than any other strings that I have used. They're nice and smooth and comfortable on the hands they don't feel sharp. Also D'Addario has sign ups on their site to earn points and free gear and learn stuff and they also give you rewards for recycling your strings!

I've played for 15 years by far these are the best acoustic strings. Finger and pick play. Just great balance off low to high tones.
