Acoustic Guitar Strings, XT Phosphor Bronze Coated, XTAPB1253, Light Gauge 12-53, 6-String Set, Pack of 1

These have been my FAVORITE guitar strings recently. I used to use Elixirs but I got sick of the extremely smooth and glidey feeling from the strings. I love these strings because they have that great natural feel while still lasting a few months without needing to be changed. They have a beautiful ringing and deep tone that I never get tired of. Will they outlast Elixirs? Probably not. But they are perfect for me and I enjoy the process of changing my strings so that does not bother me.

Excellent quality. Excellent sound. Excellent feel. I'm very pleased with these strings and will purchase again!

I absolutely love these strings. I play everyday for upwards of 4 hours with breaks in between and these strings last me a good month. Only reason I replaced the last set after a month is because the d string snapped on me when I was tuning up for open e. Otherwise they were still good! Natural feel which I like as a finger picker and they last forever.

Great quality

Tried them based on some YT reviews. After stringing and two rounds of stretching and retuning ( the usual for me) , they stay tuned pretty well right to pitch. Initially, the sound seemed a little "tinny" but they settled in quickly. The feel is fine. I have nine guitars so uncoated would be a drag for me. It is hard to beat good uncoated strings but they seldom last more than a week or two. These seem to be able last for months with only a slight decay in sound quality. I also like the String Joy coated acoustics and electric strings. Fortunately, there are many great string choices out there and everyone is constantly trying to make better strings.

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.

The best, in my opinion.

First time I've tried XT 12s (Furch OM31 SR), been a regular user of the basic EJ16 for a few years. Very happy indeed. I like the sound of fresh strings anyway, but the wound 4 on the XTs have a wonderful warm chime and make the EJs sound brittle, almost scratchy in comparison. I tried Elixir but felt I'd lost the new brighness straight from the box. These XTs are wonderfully bright without excess - they sound really present, forward but smooth and sweet. The trebles are just as bright so tonal balance across all strings is excellent. Tension stability seems excellent, they didn't need as much stretching in and have held accurate pitch better so far. Just ordered a second set (L'Arrivee OM44R) - after years of trying loads of different strings and makers I think I've finally hit on the ones for me. The extra cost is worth it for the tone I think, if they last a bit longer that's a bonus in my view. I'd recommend anyone try these - I feel like they squeeze every ounce of tone out of a guitar.
