Sheer Excellence
I have a Yamaha FG730S Solid Cedar Top and after applying these strings, my guitar pretty much sounds more crisp, clear, and more distinct than martins or taylors that cost a thousand dollars more. I'm very pleased with it's bright tone and long life and playability... definitely a MUST BUY! Most bang for your buck definitely...
Most Liked Negative Review
short life
Had an interesting tone, I rather liked it; but I've never had strings with such a short life span. Bought a pack for a backup set, and ended up pulling them out in an emergency. At somewhere between 7-10 days life, literally in the middle of a music set, the tone got bad, distractingly bad. Terrible :(

Excellent things for the money! Clear highs and amazing low tones. Easy to string up and last for a good amount of time. I use These strings on all my guitars the 11-47 thickness I find works best. I go between the 80/20 blend and the phosphorus bronze. But like the phosphorus bronze better.

These strings are very well made I'm glad I made the purchase and I'm glad that the individual his name is Beau helped me at the Guitar Center in Commack, N.Y. . I would also like to mention that bow is very knowledgeable when it comes to musical instruments because he helped me purchase a nice gretch 1883 banjo which was used but as far as I'm concerned it's in perfect condition and I like to thank both personally which I did but I'm adding this to my review.
