Gearank Recommendation
The 600L’s appeared on our recommended list for Light Gauge Acoustic Guitar Strings from February 2020 until February 2021 when they were out-ranked by more highly rated string sets.
Overview
John Pearse is a brand that’s been around since 1980 in America and over 50 years in the UK, and they have built a reputation for producing good quality guitar strings.
The 600L in particular is a light gauge string set for acoustic guitars that’s been generating quite the buzz – by guitarists not frets :).
Nothing out of the ordinary with this set, just your standard non-coated Phosphor Bronze set, but it does it job well enough to get quite a lot of high ratings and recommendations from many guitarists.
The John Pearse 600L is consistently praised for the immediately noticeable tone improvement that it brings, which many describe as warm and balanced.
If you’re looking for a no-frills light gauge acoustic guitar string set, then check out the John Pearse 600L.
