Review: Very good sounding & feeling acoustic strings - I've used every major brand you can name and most types of strings over the years. I've not yet used the D'Addario XS coated (which I hear great things about). Until now I also hadn't tried the D'Addario Nickel Bronze's either. I have a folk sized electro-acoustic with a Cedar top and Mahogany back, sides & neck that these would suit. On this instrument I usually use 80/20 Bronze for their bright punch which lightens the sound of this guitar. However, I notice 80/20s tarnish and tonally fade quite quickly. Phosphor Bronze strings sound dark, while Copper Bronze or Silk strings are too dark for this instrument. So, I thought I'd give these Nickel Bronze strings a go. I got a set of super-light 10-47 gauge, which usually sound quite weedy when made from 80/20 Bronze. I am so very impressed with them! Right from the get go it's as if they were made for this wood combination. The projection is really good and loud even from such thin strings. Very unusual from 10-47s. The balance is excellent with heavily strummed chords being full and defined. Gently fingerpicked chords are clear, clean, sonorous and balanced. These aren't shrill and aren't too bass heavy. Essentially, they are perfect! The feel is very smooth on the wound strings, almost feeling polished in comparison to some other strings where the wrap-winds are very pronounced under the fingertips. These strings are quite flexible, with just the right amount of light finger tension I really enjoy. I'm raving about them to my students who, when they try them, are also really impressed. Highly recommended for an audition on your favourite acoustic. (I can't comment on the longevity of these, so maybe I need to update this review in a few months!)
Review: Excellent strings - After over 30 years of guitar playing I am still looking for the perfect string, D'Addario have come close with these. The first thing to mention is that they look like electric guitar strings, which is a little confusing to begin with. They are smooth to my fingers and have very little string noise. They sound bright - very bright - which again for me is a good thing. There are lots of high end overtones, but the bass still projects. On my Martin the mid's are a little reduced, which could be a good or bad thing, I tend to slightly scoop the mid's anyway so it wasn't a problem for me. They last well, they last as long as some coated strings - but not all coated strings. They certainly keep their brightness longer than standard 80/20's and phosphor bronze strings. If you like bright long lasting strings give these a try.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is therea ball at end of the string**
A: Yes they are made for steel string acoustic guitars

**Q: What light and medium and custom light means???**
A: Light and medium are the width of the strings. Medium strings resonate more but are harder to hold down. Light strings are easier to play but can buzz a little if played too hard. The custom strings try and give you the best of both worlds...lighter bass strings that are easier to play and thicker treble strings which resonate a little better. I like the customs myself.

**Q: is the 3rd string wound?**
A: Yes! A wound 24 third string

**Q: Do you recommend these d'addario nickel bronze strings for strumming ?  (vs d'addario phosphor bronze)**
A: I am a strummer and I love these string. I have them on both my Taylor and my Martin. They have a rich tone whether picked, plucked, or strummed.  I was one of the beta testers of these strings, sense then they are the only strings that I have used.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings, but not for every guitar
*by J***Y on 2 October 2019*

Great strings. Very neutral and balanced in tension and tone, really lets the natural tone of your guitar come through. If you have a good, balanced guitar and you’re a decent player, they’ll sound great - if you have a £100 Yamaha or mini Taylor, then they won’t really add anything to it. They do last a bit longer than standard phosphors but definitely not long enough to justify the extra cost by itself. If you have that one special guitar though and think it could use a more neutral set of strings to let its natural voice shine, these are definitely worth a shot!
