D'Addario EJ13 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Custom Light 11-52

I've been using these guitar strings for several years now. I use them in both of my acoustics. They sound great on both guitars, stay in tune and and are pretty easy on the fingers. Very good price too ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That might sound too drastic, but... I was replacing a set of Elixirs out of which I got 2,5 months of daily playing. I put on strings from low E to high E, getting each string in tune before I put on the next one. As I was tuning the G string, D string which I tuned right before it suddenly snapped. What the hack? I've been playing this particular guitar since 2012, but I decided to examine the G tuner hole to see if there was something wrong with its edge, but it was fine. So there goes another string from a different pack. Now on to the way they sounds on my jumbo Alvares. The sound is unbalanced, over bright, lacks in bass and is forced. But the true problem with these strings that they can only be played with a pick. I spend more time playing fingerstyle and these strings are like a perfect chainsaw for fingernails. Would I ever buy these string again? No. Would I put them on my guitar if somebody gave them to me as a gift? No. Would I give them to somebody as a gift? Well if I wouldn't like the person that they were going to strangulate with these strings - I would! 2 stars Amendment 1 After several weeks of playing I actually like the played-in sound. Upgrading my vote to 3 stars. Amendment 2 These strings still ruin my nails like no other strings ever have, when I strum strum them without a pick. But that aside, after two months of playing them daily with sweaty fingers, they still sound neither dull or nor muffled, but rather surprisingly pleasant and balanced. My favorite Elixir Polyweb would have lost their original sound by now and their famed coating would have pealed and be hanging off the strings. But these strings just keep going. Upgrading my vote to 4 stars. Amendment 3 Feb 1 2023 All right - it has been three months of playing these strings, at least an hour every day. And - despite them even sometimes being exposed to my cheddary fingers (wine + cheese + guitar), they still sound GOOD. This is truly remarkable. Yes, Polyweb keeps the bright side of played-in sound longer, but no strings have ever kept it up to such abuse without sounding like a dying cat. (I love cats.)

Good strings for normal play. Durable. Really good sound. Tunes easily. Remains tuned. Doesn't hurt your fingers. Feels good to the touch.

This are not the best strings I ever used but still this is a good product... they are not really expensive so if you play a lot they are not going to hurt your wallet. Will buy them again.

Just acquired a 2007 Epiphone EJ200, and to re-string it I used Ernie Ball Earthwood 11-52's...( I usually use Martin acoustic.) The Earthwood's were just bland, and the wound G string almost immediately had fret bumps that felt awful...like it needed to be re-strung only after an hour of playing. EB, IMHO hasn't really done well lately. So, being I went with the D'Addario NYXL's on my electric, which are awesome, I chose these for my Epiphone, and immediately they felt and sounded better...like night and day. Full rich sound, with big booming bottom, clean and present mids, and nice chimey, but not ear piercing high's. The G strings actually a 32g compared to the Earthwood's 30g, but it bends so much more effortlessly, and I like to be able to bend my acoustic strings when needed...They also feel great under my fingers too. I think I originally stopped using D'Addario due to price when I was touring, and the EB's saved me a few bucks. I thought the EB's were ok, but the D'Addario's are simply far superior, and I won't be going back, regardless of price. Not knockin' EB, as to each their own, but these really are great strings in both electric, and acoustic. 😎👍

I own over 10 guitars and have played for over 20 years so it is safe to say I have tried alot of different strings. I bought these for a guitar I was donating so I went with these because they were cheap. I love that they are color coded for which string they are. That makes them easy to use and they sound great. Nice bright sound a little more string screech than my go to brand ernie ball earthwoods and they seem to go out of tune a little quicker for the first few days. They still sound bright and have good warmth after 2 weeks and they hold a tune just fine, so Id say they have proven durability. Great value for the money. I have seen no rust on them and they play smooth.

The strings are sturdy and have a bright sound. The plucking tone is beautiful and clear, so the guitar sounds really good. I think I made a great purchase. Thank you.

Great strings , great sound!

These have been great strings. I’ve played many sets over many years. These are as good or better than any. I read the negative reviews and wonder where they come from. The only time I’ve ever busted a string when installing them is if there is a burr on the saddle or nut. Not the string’s fault for that. I play about 1.5-2 hours a day, often with not the cleanest hands, they stayed bright enough to noodle for about 2 months. That’s pretty good.great value. Great sound. Both on a short scale and full dreadnaught. Play on girls and boys.

The name Daddario is enough to purchase this strings. Great sounding strings. You can go with it.

There's a reason that D'Addario are one of the main players in the guitar strings market — a wide range of gauges and styles, and consistently good quality. I rarely buy any other brand for either my guitars or my basses.

I have been using these strings for years They are standard but I have found them to be the most efficient purchase for me in regards with price-to-quality.

Sonido más metálico, son más duras, tensas, como lo queráis llamar... que las normales de inicio. Las compré sabiéndolo, pero si no sabes el sonido es raro de primeras. Por lo demás perfecto.
