EFT16 Flat Tops Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Light, 12-53

Ff

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, montate sulla mia Ibanez PF17 ne ha pulito il suono soprattutto negli spostamenti verticali. Decisamente ha irrobustito il tono e soprattutto il riverbero!!! Da provare!!!

Si no te molesta el .12 estas cuerdas tienen el balance de medios y graves calidos. Conservaron si brillo por 3 meses con uso moderado en una Ej 200 para mi gusto si lo valen para ser las cuerdas que casi nadie quiere tocar.

Bought this set for my Yamaha LL16. I had put brass bridge pins on the guitar because I didn't care for the look of the stock pins and thought it would match the tuners better. I wasn't sure but I thought the swap ended up making the guitar sound a bit brighter. It wasn't too bad so I left it. During research into something else guitar related I went down the rabbit hole of roundwound vs flatwound and decided to give these a try. I put these on January 20th and so far.. I really like them. The wound strings sound a little deeper/warmer than roundwounds and it seems to have counteracted the brightness effect of the brass pins. The guitar is now boomy again but not too boomy. Nice and full. There's a pleasing clarity and string squeaking (finger noise) isn't nearly as noticeable, although not completely eliminated. No issues with tuning stability. The time to stretch out the strings were the same as my usual set. One thing that really jumped out at me is that as I was changing the strings, these new strings seemed to grip the cloth that I had my guitar laying on. Can't really feel it with my fingers but there's definitely some noticeable friction if you really dig into the strings with a pick and rub them with the flat side. I angle the pick and strike the strings with more of the edge than the flat side so it's not an issue for me. For others it might be something. Longevity is my main concern now and I'll update this review when it's time to restring. If I don't burn through this set as fast as I do with my usual strings, I'll probably make these my new go-to strings. I hope it works out because I REALLY like the sound of my guitar now, but not the price.

I previously used Phosphor Bronze strings (usually D'Addario) or Silk & Steel (D'Addario, Martin, LaBella). I wanted something that was brighter than Silk & Steel but could still reduce string squeak while recording. So far, these strings have fit the bill. I play mostly fingerstyle (with finger tips, rarely with nails) on a 000-sized Martin guitar. And I usually record it with an LDC. These flat tops have reduced the amount of slide noises to a more hospitable level. I've gone through several sets of these strings and I've yet to encounter any quality control issues. No string breaks or unraveling. If you want to close mic an acoustic guitar without all the extra finger squeaks, then give these a try.
