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

Always great strings, beautiful sound, lovely feel and my go too strings

Nice strings from a main player in the Guitar world.

Really nice strings for my acoustic. Really bright sound with a really smooth feel. Have lasted a while, but it misses the extra star because they haven't lasted for as long as I would like. I don't play every day, so if the guitar is left to sit for a few days, they get a bit grimey and have to be cleaned with a bit of fret fast.Otherwise nice strong strings.

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.

D'addario strings are the best. Very long lasting despite having sweaty hands sometimes and lasts for around 8 months and more when the guitar is played everyday.

I have been used to using Elixir's but felt that using a cheaper coated option was worth the try. I was not disappointed, these phosphor bronze strings have a great tone without being too jangly. I have only had them on a week and so it is too early to determine whether they will last as well as Elixir strings but I am pretty confident so far and whilst they are not cheap strings they are nearly £5 cheaper.

These strings sound great and feel good too. It brought my acousitc guitar back to life with it's full and bright tone. Can't go wrong with D'Addario strings!

The tone of the strings is good
