D'Addario EXP12-B25 Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings

Specific application for type of guitar mounted on

Folks I have to say that I'm quite impressed. I've kept the Martin Lifespans on my Guitar since I bought it because I like the performance fine. But D'Addario sent me a set of these and after messing up and crossing the 3rd & 4th strings breaking one, I completed the install last night by buying another set and putting on the proper strings on the proper course. Then proceeded to play my heart out for several hours.This string set is about as close to a direct replacement from the set that came on the guitar that you can get size wise. But wow what a difference in the tone and projection it has made in this guitar. My 15 has never been a muddy guitar in my mind. It has had mellow under tones that rounded the mid range nicely and a reasonable support of the treble side of the spectrum. But with these strings the clarity and at the mid and upper range was clearly brought out so much better than the the Lifespans did. (and I have to correct myself here.. better isn't the right phrasing.. more is perhaps more correct because it is only different) For my predominately finger style of play these strings are awesome on the D-15.Now bonus volume; I can't tell you how much more but it is considerably more volume coming out of this instrument especially when attracted with a pick. When using a pick the guitar becomes much more aggressive that it ever has been capable of.Bottom line is that I haven't lost anything with these string but I have gained considerable definition in the mid and upper spectrum and more volume which allows me to to back off a bit to achieve the same level of output as before or to dig in and produce more output than ever before.If it sounds like something you'd like to have out of your mahogany guitar you should give these a try.As a follow up to this thread...I just got back in town a few days ago after being away for my moms passing at 94 & 3/4's as she insisted in having published in her obit....Last night was the first opportunity I had to sit with my dearest friend in my studio my Martin D-15 with the strings in question now on a few weeks played some sitting some idle as well. So it is easy to say that they have settled in a bit.I must say I like them even better than I did at first blush. They perform remarkable with the all mahogany Martin 15 series body. I can't get over how this guitar that has always excited me from the core has now found a new way to grab ahold of me and shake my soul even more so with these strings. D'Addario has a winner with these, at least with this guitar string combo.

I tried a set of these for mandolin which were EXCELLENT (they lasted for about SIX MONTHS) and so bought a few sets for my guitar too, which I've yet to install. On the mandolin, they sound spectacular, were very easy on the fingers and improved the action noticeably (there's a lot of sliding around the frets on purpose when playing mandolin) -- if you happen to also use string and fingerboard cleaner/conditioner too, they'll REALLY last for a long time (for example, just picking up the instrument and noodling around). When I'm planning on traveling to play a gig, or jam with friends, I'll change out my strings of course. While I quite liked the D'Addario equivalent of these for my mandolin, on the advice of my favorite luthier/retailer/reseller guy, I tried basically the same thing by Elixir (also 80/20s, but lights), and ended up liking those even more for mandolin. Still, as well as the Elixir strings, I still buy these and keep a couple of sets around for my mandolins and guitar, as they're usually cheaper. For emergencies, I keep around a few sets of D'Addario lights for both instruments (J62 for mandolin) and for when all else fails, also a few sets of the best cheapest strings I've found for both guitar and mandolin, Martin lights for bluegrass (sometimes medium light or even medium for my guitar particularly). Anyway, as soon as I get 'round to doing it, I need to change the strings on my guitar and will replace them with a set of these, which I imagine will perform just as well as they did on my mandolins -- notice they are 80/20s, but still are called Medium gauge. It's a strange world....

I don't ever write reviews, but I need to for these. I've been playing guitar for almost ten years. I would try new strings but nothing would work. These strings are by far thee best acoustic strings I have ever owned, and now will ever own. I can't say enough about them. My problem with strings is that after a couple times of playing, that nice "twang" sound alway faded. I put these strings on over a week ago. I play for hours and hours a day, and that nice "twang" is still there. I have a Gibson B-25 acoustic and a R. W. Jameson electric acoustic, and these strings compliment both guitars in different ways. When I read reviews an people say, "buy this product," I'm still sketchy and in a way ignore it. I promise you that these will not disappoint you. I highly recommend purchasing these strings. Trust me on this. I'm just like most of you who are reading this. I'm one person out of many who write reviews, so why does my word matter? I've purchased a well amount of different things off Amazon, and each time I read the reviews. All the one star two star ratings are people who are idiots and don't know to take care of whatever what ever of those I've gotten. Given no matter what, every company will have a "bad line," so although rare, you possibly could just get a bad package. Don't make your judgement off of that. Contact D'Addario to get a new package. I'm sorry this is so long, but I needed to get my point across. I've never will purchase any other string for my acoustics from now on. Please give these a chance and I hope this review helps.

品質良く音も良い

Il prodotto consiste in una muta di corde prettamente per chitarre acustiche targata D'Addario, all'interno della confezione troviamo le corde e alcuni dépliant informativi.***QUALITA' GENERALE***Partiamo dal confezionamento molto bello e funzionale, all'interno le corde non sono impacchettate singolarmente e sono quindi divise per colore. In particolare il modello in questione presenta delle corde dalla scalatura ibrida : 11-15-22-32-42-52. Il rivestimento è di profilo rotondo con copertura 80/20 in bronzo che ne garantisce lunga durata e resistenza al sudore.***QUALITA' DEL SUONO***Come già detto le corde sono adatte per un utilizzo prettamente acustico, all' udito il suono risulta corposo ma incentrato verso gli acuti, le corde sono abbastanza morbide e si prestano bene al bending. Il set si presta bene a generi che spaziano dal rock al conutry e al blues.***DURATA NEL TEMPO***Premettendo che non suono per 5 ore al giorno, a distanza di 2 mesi il suono è ancora pulito e squillante e sulle corde non si sono tracce di ossidazione grazie allo strato in bronzo.***PREZZO***Il prezzo è in linea con altri marchi, anche se sembrerebbero resistere bene nel tempo.***CONCLUSIONI***Ho voluto testare per la prima volta il marchio D'Addario, senza nessuna grande pretesa, e devo dire di esserne rimasto molto soddisfatto, non vedo l'ora di provare altri prodotti come le Flat Top Phosphor Bronze.

This strings were good when i bought from offfline store but this pack sounded weird

Schöner Klang, gut zu greifen und lange Lebensdauer - daher habe ich sie mir wieder bestellt!

Info vorweg: Ich nutze sie für eine Westerngitarre von eher mittlerer Qualität (Leihgabe) da ich bevorzugt klassische spiele.Die EXP11 sind (wie die EXP45 für meine klassischen) einfach gut.Guter Klang, langlebig und gut in der Haptik.Ich werde dabei bleiben.
