D’Addario: innovative strings since 1680

When you go with D’Addario, you receive far more than a great set of strings. You’re benefiting from three centuries of string-making experience. The D’Addario family tradition began in 1680 in the tiny town of Salle, Italy, where they made assorted instrument strings for over 200 years before relocating to New York in 1905. Since then, the D’Addario family has become a leader in string innovation. They designed the modern winding machine, introduced ultra-reliable hexagonal core wires, and pioneered the colored-coded ball end movement. More than 300 years since the family started making strings, D’Addario continues to set a global standard for quality and reliability. And every day, more than 500,000 strings emerge from their USA-based workshops.

Great Strings! That compliment the Phosphor Bronze!

I ordered these to try, I have always been a phosphor bronze guy but I wanted to try these. Needless to say I love em! They are brighter than phosphor bronze they sound amazing with a slide and for finger style. Clarity is a must for me and they are like a bell, they sing and stay in tune! The project like crazy especially when you really dig in to the guitar! They have lots of punch too they sound great for blues, country, or acoustic rock. They sound great on jangly Tom Petty songs. Try em you'll be glad you did !

Great Sound, But...

These string sound great, feel great, look great, and play great overall. They're bright and lively. However, they seem to wear out quickly. I've had two sets develop issues with the windings. I thought it might be a sharp fret at first, but a close inspection of my frets showed no issues there. Seems that these strings don't like being bent, as that's where the winding issues developed on both sets. If you don't bend on your acoustic and you like a brighter tone, you'll probably like these just fine. If you do a lot of bending, beware...

very good ex light

I' an older player, i choose play-ability first when choosing a string, and need extra light strings. for several years i've used EB silk and steel but lately decided to try a few i hadn't tried and a few i had. the EJ10's i had tried and found them close to my fav years ago.
they still are close but not at the top of my favs, slightly stiff and tone projection is good. all in all a slightly above average ex light string i dont think anyone would be disappointed.
the only secret in finding your perfect string is trying them, alot of them.
