Warmer sounding than previous strings
I’ve been using elixir strings for years on my Guild D50 and Taylor 416ce, which Taylor recommends. There is a certain brightness to them, which is fine but I was looking for something with a little more warmth to get the fullness of the woods on the guitars. On the recommendation of a friend and guitar shop owner I tried these strings. And after playing them and recording with them I’m hooked. They provided the rich sound I’ve been looking for on my guitars. There is a little difference in the feel of the strings but I adjusted quickly. I would highly encourage folks to give these a try. They really make a difference.

These strings are awesome. My favorite strings out there
Great strings!
Hi! I admit it was a bit of a gamble, buying a six pack of a string I hadn't tried, but I have very good experiences of your electric guitar strings, and I sure don't regret trying the phosphor bronze 13-56. I've played them a lot for about a week now and they stayed in tune more or less from the start, have an even sound, lots of "body" to the tone and work equally well for finger- and flat picking. I'm glad a opted for a six pack, won't have to bother buying strings for a good while!
