Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The quality and craftsmanship of these strings is outstanding. They have the same specs as the originals on a godin 5th avenue guitar. The only strings that i’ve not used are stringjoys. They are great for prs guitars.

They are particularly great on blues especially on a semi hollow body. They stay bright way longer than the folks with the paper packaging.

No more worrying about muting or adjusting; these strings feel like an extension of your own hands. Bright and snappy to warm and mellow. These bass strings are my go-to set for my fender jaguar.



Cons

The d'addario's do not perform as they say on the packaging. I feel like maybe it was a bad batch or stored improperly by the retailer. Do not buy these.

It keeps snapping while detuning. If they don't even last through tuning, what use are they. All the strings are jumbled together. That’s why i switched to rotosound!

Go for the best deal on whichever ones

Shipping


The strings arrived fast and are exactly as ordered.

Packaging/appearance


My only complaint is that it would be nice if they could package the strings in individual sleeves, instead of all six strings ...  Read More


I like the way the ball end of the strings are different colors, but the single package the strings come in which is a dark gre...  Read More

Competitiveness


I was pleasantly surprised, and i have switched three guitars over to d’addarios.


I would have to say that d'addario offers a unique sound and tone that you don't find with many other brands.


For many years, i used slinkys, because they were the cheapest brand name american stings available, and i don't really care ab...  Read More
