Review: Great strings. - These are my go-to for 20 years. Reasonably priced, great strings that don't tend to break unless by my own idiocy. There are more expensive brands, coated, with gimmicky promises, these are better (in my view). Strings that claim to last longer never do, strings that claim theyre brighter may be brighter, but not for very long. No BS, good, reliable strings that sound and play great. Don't fall for hype strings, your wallet and your music will thank you. Pro tip. If you wash your hands before you play, you could extend the brightness and life of your strings far beyond what an gexpensive gimmick set ever could. Review: Great Strings - I have been playing medium strings for a few years now. I'm old my- wrist hurts. So, I tied these light strings. My wrist still hurts but these are great strings. Easy to play and sound great. Bright with sustain.

I'm old my- wrist hurts. So, I tied these light strings. My wrist still hurts but these are great strings. Easy to play and sound great. Bright with sustain. Phosphor Bronze, EJ16, Light Gauge 12-53 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IMHO the best acoustic strings sold at any price *by D***E on February 4, 2014* I will keep this short. The price is unbelievable, it's nice to have three sets in a box and these are the best acoustic strings on the market. That's only my opinion and everyone has one......so many will disagree. I have an regular acoustic and an acoustic electric and strung both with these strings. It made each guitar sound like a 3 thousand dollar guitar. I find that most inexpensive guitars have cheap strings, most can be vastly improved with something as simple as new strings. I really believe in these strings. When I find a good thing, I am hooked and I will not use anything BUT these on anything acoustic. On a guitar, strings are everything. The tone feel and bend is what's important. These are very light and VERY easy on the fingers, unlike clunky stock strings on most acoustics. I guess they think you need big, think strings to produce volume....not so. Some will disagree saying they break if they're too thin. I would rather have a shorter life with strings, getting a pure beautiful, rich sound than have a long lasting flat string. My thick stock strings were killing my fingers. These are effortless to play and sound so sweet and mellow, just like an acoustic should sound. Again, someone will chime in and bash me for saying this...but I would put my inexpensive Yamaha up against guitars costing 10 times what I paid. I have no plans of changing brands now I've made the string switch. Some say thin strings break easily, but you should change strings often anyway. I can do a string change-over in about 15 minutes on a bad day. It's worth the effort. I don't plan on hammering my acoustic anyway. That's what the Fender is for. AND it's not that I'm cheap either. I own 18 guitars, 16 of which are electrics. 3 Gibson Les Paul's, 2 Fender Strats (one American) a couple of Dillions (another great find) and some other nice guitars. My Acoustic is just an inexpensive Yamaha 700 but is a very nice guitar for the money. But after changing the strings it sounds like an expensive Martin. It didn't take me long to throw a set of these on my acoustic electric and got the same results. 5 stars in my book, more if they'd allow that. There are no other options unless someone gives me a set that blow me away. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Guitar Strings - Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - EJ16 - Rich, Full Tonal Spectrum - For 6 String Guitars - 12-53 Light - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Strings - 80/20 Bronze - For 6 String Guitars - Deep, Bright, Projecting Tone - EJ11 - Light, 12-53 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/2020610-phosphor-bronze](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/2020610-phosphor-bronze) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
