5.0 out of 5 stars Consistently Excellent Value
Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2024
Size: Light, 12-53Style: 1-PackVerified Purchase
Casual player, previous gigger. Strummer not picker. Rhythm & sing back up. Entertainer, not Musician. Live sound tech. The only work I do on acoustics is 'play', clean and re-string. These are solid, reliable, no negative surprises, consistent, good sounding & feeling strings. That said I don't navel gaze my 'tone'. I look at my audience. If they like what I'm doing I just keep doing it. If not, it's not the string's fault. Wipe them after use individually with a clean soft cloth and they sound great and last until you break one.

Daddario is a phenomenal brand, I have never had an issue with their strings. They sound great and last a long time, for me, I always replace the strings after a long time without ever breaking.

Good cords, good sound, deep and durable. But they are hard for non-experienced fingers. For initial players, I would rather recommend to spend more money and buy softer ones.

I’ve been a loyal customer of this exact set of strings and every single time i am reminded of why that is. It’s bold and bright and loud like nothing else. Soft enough to play fingerstyle without slicing my fingers open and strong enough to strum dumb campfire songs to! Honestly, these are all you need- I love them and I know I’ll be back buying more super soon:)

Una de las mejores marcas de cuerdas para guitarra, suenan muy bien y son muy duraderas.

En el empaque vienen todas juntas, no vienen una en cada sobre cómo otras marcas, pero cada una tiene un color en la punta que sirve para saber que cuerda es cada una. Super recomendables.
