Great strings and they keep their tone

The only other reviewer said they lost their tone in 2 days - really.... These strings come sealed in a plastic cover to keep them fresh and I don't have any problems with them losing tone, at least not any worst than other brands and better than most. Strings seem to last pretty long for me anyway, I have always heard it's about your "hand sweat" and how acidic it is. A friend of mine changes his strings weekly, I can go much longer and these sound great. Those Elixor strings seem to give a muffeled tone to me, kind of like a cheap guitar. The price I got these for was great (they were on sale) but even at this price for a 3 pack is very affordable. Try a pack, I've been playing for 45 years and think they're great.

    I've been hooked on these strings since the 70s when my boyfriend restrung my guitar as a birthday present. They look, feel and sound great on 6-string and 12-string guitars.

    I've been using these strings for decades and the sound can't be better. If you haven't tried these strings you don't know what you're missing. I've also tried the lights.

    These strings sound and last longer than any other I've tried on my J45. I'm not easy on guitar and these hold up great, I can't tell the number of sets of these I've used over the years. I've tried just about every other brand out there and always come back to these because the way they hold their tone.

    #sweepstakes These D'Addario EJ16-3D Phosphor Bronze Light strings are the only acoustic strings I use. They ring out loud, clear and distinct. They are not too bright and bring out great bass on the acoustics. Put all this together with an even tone across the strings and you can't go wrong. This is backed by a player playing guitar for 60 years.

  • Good strings. Nice sound.

    I broke The high E string and two different brands before I tried these. No issues with them. I am an older learner with arthritis in my left hand, so I wanted to start with light strings. These sound great on my Martin.

    Is the string a set of 3? Like 18 total strings or just 3 strings for the same chord?

    Open Reply - Beau
    This is a 3 pack, so you would get three 6 string sets.
