  • You can never go wrong with D'Addario!
Size: Light, 12-53
These XT's are my 2nd favorite strings by D'Addario, with their Nickel Bronze 12-56 being 1st. It doesn't get any better than D'Addario!

  • Longest lasting for tone.
Size: Custom Light, 11-52
I'm a professional entertainer. I play around 100 shows a year and put these strings on my Yamaha Elec acoustic. I'm a rhythm player and lead vocalist. My guitarist suggested I use these. Over a year ago, still have great tone, hold pitch and it's the original set. Not playing any lead solos, I can't remember the last time I broke a string. ... show more

  • Flat pickers dream strings
Size: Lt. Top/Hvy Bottom, 12-56
These are the best strings I've been able to find on the market. The XT 80/20 phos-Bronze 12 top / 56 bottoms gives the big low end and the bend in the high E that keeps you from breaking them. This is a good deal these strings are usually $14 a pack. These are the XT extended life strings so you get that ring out clarity for about double the length of a normal set. I don't know about you but I change my strings alot and 100% is tone related. I don't find myself having to change them as often. And they don't buzz like most coated strings do until they are broken in. Broken in on these only takes five to ten minutes and they go go go ... show more

  • Duraderas pero el sonido no se comparan a las 80/20 originales
Size: Custom Light, 11-52
Solo tengo 1 mes probandolas y estan en buen estado y en tono pero no se comparan a las originales 80/20 sin revestimiento donde el sonido es real y superior pero lo malo es que las originales se dañan muy rapido (3 semanas). En conclusion; tal como es mi caso que no toco tanto la guitarra acustica por tanto prefiero colocarle las HT para que duren un poco mas y no estar cambiando cuerdas. ... show more
