Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Only gripe is that the hi e will end up sounding tinny as it degrades, which prompts an immediate change. It enjoy finding my fit based of how it feels and my own preference. Literally thousands of videos on re-stringing and tuning guitars on youtube.... Read More

Thanks ta amazon they keep orders a long ways back. The other 5 are fine. U have to find the 1 thats rt for the guitar.

Cons

Whether one likes the sound of certain strings is a subjective thing. The #1 e string wasn't wound long enough to be strung. They don't have any shimmer or shine, not give harmonics.

I'm pretty shocked that they were this bad. Very disappointed for the price.

Quality

They are made to be very smooth feeling and resonate clean, bright (but not banjo twang bright) sound.

Love te quality and especially the sound

None of the strings (like the e string) broke when installing and tuning the guitar.

We ordered these strings and then almost immediately the top string broke.

Price

Holy s***, i can hear more woody tones in this $150 guitar and i cannot put down my guitar.

I got a new 6 string that cost 100$.

The kicker is i have a 100$ guitar that sound like garth brooks martin.

Shipping

Thanks ta amazon they keep orders a long ways back.

Initially, the sound seemed a little "tinny" but they settled in quickly.

Packaging/appearance

The nice packaging hints that these strings are high quality.

Like new packaging, but the new price; not so much.

I can't remember where i got these strings, but found their black package in my stack of new strings.

Competitiveness

I like these more than the slightly more expensive longer life d'addarios after a side by side comparison on two acoustics over... Read More

To my ear, they sound brighter than the other coated string brand.

The black packaged strings are better than the white, in my opinion .
