    • Best acoustic strings I've ever used
Size: Bluegrass, 12-56 Style: 1-Pack
I've been playing guitar over 50 years and these have the best sound of them all. The bass really comes through with these strings. D'addario Bluegrass strings are my go-to strings from now on.... BTW, I don't play bluegrass.lol I don't know how long they will last and don't care as I will reorder as often as needed. Sound is everything and these strings have it all. ... show more

    • easy to install, officiant packaging.
Size: Light, 12-53 Style: 1-Pack
As someone who's never changed a string themselves before, I had 0 clue if I even bought the right kind of string in the first place, but it was surprisingly simple. It is a very pretty gold and comes with all 6 of the stings, and sounds great even next to my other strings that are not of the same brand. It's pretty much everything you could ask of a guitar string. My only gripe would be the length. It had a decent bit extra to clip off but it still felt a little short but it didn't cause any problems and I doupt it would for others. (for reference my string ended up being roughly 2ft 1in after applied) ... show more

    • Easy to install and works great
Size: Extra Light, 10-47 Style: 1-Pack
My old Guitar strings broke, and I got this one. I am a beginner and it was my first time changing the strings. String were color coded and were easy to install after watching a short Youtube video. String & sound quality looks good.

I've been using these strings for only a few months so time will tell how long they last but wow they sound so clear! I've never strung my own guitar until I ordered these, super straight forward and easy to do. Simply put, I'd definitely recommend this product.

    • Great tone for a Newby
Size: Light, 12-53 Style: 1-Pack
I've started using these strings on a cheap Yamaha F335TBS and I'm really amazed at the difference from the factory strings. I'm a new player working my way towards getting better. I try to play 6 days a week for 45+ minutes so they're "dulling up" after about 2 months but I've got no complaints. I feel like it's a good deal for the price. ... show more

    • Easy to use and work great!
Size: Light, 12-53 Style: 3-Pack
We have purchased these before and my son loves them. He just started playing guitar last Christmas and has really picked it up nicely. He said these are easy to use and change out. The quality is excellent too & way nicer than the strings his guitar came with. Very happy with purchase!
