Best Strings I've owned So Far!
I would totally recommend these for beginners. My guitar has a bad habit of having the tension much too high compared to other guitars. Many people would like the sound of my guitar but would not enjoy the tight strings. Because of these strings, my guitar is now very playable compared to before.
I've always used light gauge strings for my guitar because of how tense they would always be. When I found out that there was an even lighter gauge, I went ahead and ordered these. So far, I am very please with the sound and the feel of the strings. I don't have an issue with pressing too hard on the strings and the strings going out of tune in consequence, they sound wonderful, and best of all, they do not hurt my fingers! Bar chords are so much easier because of these strings, and there isn't a lot of pressure needed to press down the strings.
I would only have to say that there is a bit more fret buzz than I remember with my strings, but it's easily solved with me pressing harder or putting my fingers closer to the fret. Once again, these strings are by far the best I've had on my guitar. If you are a beginner or would like a more playable guitar because your string tension is too much, I would totally recommend these for sure!Read full review...

D'Addario Phosphor Bronze
Extra light is just what was needed for the teenager to be able to fret easily. Not as good as the thicker strings, but for what they are, the fit the need. Happy with them overall.

(someone who hasn't changed strings before)
These strings were really simple for me to attach to the guitar. Of course I had to learn a proper technique, but these strings were color coded on the ball ends which mad life alot easier for me. Then they are great quality and sound great on my acoustic. Definitely would buy again. A+++Read full review...

Solid Sound
These strings are great for Acoustic. They are soft to work with, not the stiff, painful strings you may have used in the past. But being softer, doesn't take away from their thick sound. Give them a try!Read full review...

Great for small Guitar
Put these on my 1880's parlor guitar (a family heirloom). Though a bit brassy they are much clearer tone than with other strings. Guitar sounds better than it has for decades.

Looking for easier guitar strings for a beginner
I was looking for guitar strings for my granddaughter who just started. I did my research and a lot of people recommended these. The strings are less tension and fairly smooth as guitar strings go. Another thing was that reviews said they lasted longer.Read full review...

Great playability but kind of dull sounding..
I’m going from mediums to extra lights to compensate for physical problems. Disappointed with tone but that’s kind of understandable. I think I’ll probably keep searching for extra lights I prefer the sound of. Not much high endRead full review...

Extra light
I searched for extra extra light acoustic strings for my Martin and tried these. Good strings, purchased a second set as a backup or next change.
