I never used to use Ernie Balls much because early on, for some reason, I got the impression they were mostly an electric guitar string company. Don't know whether that's true or not, but the idea's been sitting around in my head long as I can remember.Well, I'm an acoustic guy--my main axes are a rosewood Martin dread and a Gibson SJ made of mahogany--and I was getting really sick of my strings dying every couple weeks, so I thought I'd give these a try. Loved them! Good boom and thump out of the Martin strung with mediums, warm punchy growl from medium-lights on the mahogany. Nice projection on both. I like Elixr Nanowebs equally as much (if not a hair better), but both brands really seem to get out of the way and let the guitar do the talking; you don't hear the color of the string so much as the wood itself. I like that.I'll take Balls over Elixrs for the lower price, but I'll take either of 'em over D'Addario EXP"s. I find when those D'Addarios go, they don't just fade away, they seem to drop dead all at once. A note of caution: Ball's "Medium Lights" are equal to other brands' "Lights" (12-54), and their Mediums are just like regular old Mediums (13-56). Can be confusing at first.They work for me. Try them out!

Great product and love the sound. Been playing this brand for years. Last a long time and great value. Best of all there easy on your fingers.

Nice warm strings, bright and required no break in to have them feeling smooth against the frets. They slide nice under your fingers as well. I can tell the coating makes them sleightly smoother and also noticed they had no metalic ringing when I first put them on my guitar. I never liked new strings during the first few minutes of playing a new set, until these strnigs came along! They sound great the second you strum them. With my other brand/set of 80/20 phosphor bronze strings, I'd always hear the annoying "ringing" for the first 10 minutes or so after changing strings and they were also louder when moving my hand up and down the neck.I'll definitely but these again.

I am trying these out on my Gibson SJ- they seem stable ,tuning wise and have a nice " conventional " tone esp. on the bass side. Not slippery like Elixirs.I only use coated strings due to durability - some players say it negatively affects tone , but I have not experienced that with these.

These are my favorite acoustic strings. They don't peel like elixirs, but they have that nice smooth feel to them. Great sound as well.

I like the brightness these give off when you first put these on. They got a squeak to them and they'll drag on your fingers (not like elixirs) They last 3x more than normal earth wood strings

TONE IS A MATTER OF TASTE! MY REVIEW IS MY OPINION!I bought these to save a few bucks on restringing an inexpensive Washburn acoustic that has a great bellowing tonal range not unlike what Martins are known for. However it is extremely sensitive to string choice and these absolutely demolished my treble and any tonal clarity between combined strumming and picking. After taking these off and putting a set of Elixir Nanowebs of the same gauge on it, the brightness of the tone and clarity of intonation returned to the guitar.These also had a fairly pronounced amount of finger chirp that I was a bit unaccustomed to, so be aware of that.

Ich habe immer mit der Gitarre meiner Frau gespielt. (600€ Yamaha) Mega Sound Mittlerweile habe ich mir meine eigene gegönnt (Fender Redondo). Tolle Gitarre aber der Sound war im Vergleich zu der Yamaha absolut blechern, leise, schnarrend,... einfach nicht das Ware. Mit diesen Saiten klingt die jetzt richtig geil. Bin absolut zufrieden. Das Aufziehen (war mein erstes Mal) war easy, verpackt waren die Saiten super, wüsste nicht was man da besser machen sollte. Über die Langlebigkeit kann ich natürlich noch nichts berichten. Sind aber auf jeden Fall super zu bespielen und schmeicheln dem Ohr.

I tried these strings on two acoustic guitars instead of Light Gauge. The difference in tone, more depth, and still with ease of playing, means I am now a convert. The small increase in the gauge of the wound strings makes a big difference!

Me gustó el color y duración. Tonos cálidos. Sin embargo, recientemente cambie al mismo modelo pero en calibre 11-52. La diferencia es brutal. Recomiendo estás últimas.

Vraiment une entière satisfaction lorsque j'ai posé ces cordes sur ma guitare; C'est simple, c'est comme si j'avais une nouvelle guitare ! Aigus magnifiques, cristallins, basses présentes, précision des notes, un vrai régal. Mettre 20 euros pour des cordes de guitare ? Oui, faîtes-le ! Ne négligez pas le second élément important de votre guitare...
