Guitar Strings - XS Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - XSAPB1253 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 12-53 Light

I finally gave these strings a try a few months ago to see if the hype was worth it. I never cared much for Elixrs and the Martin SP's were ok but for the price dulled out sooner than I'd prefer. I've used Martin Monels and John Peasrse strings almost exclusively on my spruce/mahogany backed guitars for years and I can say that these strings are fantastic for that wood mix. They play well and last a fair bit (depending how much you play and for me it's a lot). These were on a cyber sale so I decided to pick up a few packs to keep the stocks well supplied. I always tell people who are looking for the best strings for a particular guitar etc. that there is no such thing and you need to try lots and go with what you prefer. These I think would fit the bill for most players and get you good bang for your buck especially if you aren't gigging or playing multiple times a week.

Chegou antes do prazo, não teve taxas extras. Encordoamento top, de qualidade superior. Alguns gostam da Elixir, mas este jogo da D'addario 012-053 XS Phosphor Bronze está me satisfazendo muito bem pela durabilidade, entonação e brilho.

I've been playing acoustic guitar for twenty years. I've tried every string I could get my hands on. I usually gravitate toward D'Addario strings. Their standard phosphor bronze strings are what I typically use. The last time I restrung my guitar, I purchased Ernie Ball Earthwood strings at the recommendation of my local music store. I HATED them. From the moment I put them on, my guitar sounded so dead and lifeless. It was like I had put six month old, tarnished strings onto my guitar. Everything was so dull and muted. Cue the D'Addario coated phosphor bronze strings. After that terrible experience, I decided to splurge and buy some "expensive" strings. I knew I liked D'Addario, so I figured I'd like expensive D'Addario too. I had high expectations and I was still blown away by these strings. Night and day compared to the Earthwood strings. My guitar was load and bright and sang so beautifully. From the very first moment I strung them onto my guitar, before it was even tuned, I knew. These were the strings for me. They sound just as good, if not better than the standard D'Addario phosphor bronze strings, but the coating makes them so much more playable. String noise is greatly reduced. The strings are so smooth that my fingers glide up and down the fretboard effortlessly. They've been on my guitar for a few weeks now, and they still look and play like they're brand new. No hint of tarnish anywhere on the strings. At over double the price of the standard phosphor bronze strings, I don't think these would be more cost effective. I don't think I'll get over double the life out of these over a standard set of strings, but the added playability and longevity more than makes up for the price difference to me. I'll probably use these strings for the rest of my life.

I have used many, many different brands of strings over the years and I really feel as though I have found the 'Holy Grail' with these ones. I believe Taylor put them on all of their new guitars as standard now, and I can completely understand why. They last FOR AGES! I play the life out of my guitar and I haven't seen any tarnishing at all. They take no time at all to 'bed in' and stay in tune well. Very easy strings to play, not too hard on the ol' fingers. Value for money as well due to the quality being so high. I genuinely believe if you fitted these to a mediocre or low end guitar, you would improve the sound quality drastically. They have such good tone and really bring my guitar to life.
