D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Strings, XT Phosphor Bronze Coated, XTAPB1047, Extra Light Gauge 10-47, 6-String Set, Pack of 1

First time I've tried XT 12s (Furch OM31 SR), been a regular user of the basic EJ16 for a few years. Very happy indeed. I like the sound of fresh strings anyway, but the wound 4 on the XTs have a wonderful warm chime and make the EJs sound brittle, almost scratchy in comparison. I tried Elixir but felt I'd lost the new brighness straight from the box. These XTs are wonderfully bright without excess - they sound really present, forward but smooth and sweet. The trebles are just as bright so tonal balance across all strings is excellent. Tension stability seems excellent, they didn't need as much stretching in and have held accurate pitch better so far. Just ordered a second set (L'Arrivee OM44R) - after years of trying loads of different strings and makers I think I've finally hit on the ones for me. The extra cost is worth it for the tone I think, if they last a bit longer that's a bonus in my view. I'd recommend anyone try these - I feel like they squeeze every ounce of tone out of a guitar.

I had more or less exclusively used Elixir Nanoweb strings for about 15 years until I got a new guitar which had these XT strings on and immediately I was impressed by the tone and feel of them. Since then they have been my new favourites. Took about an hour or so of playing to break in but then they sound great and last a long time.

Really nice strings for my acoustic. Really bright sound with a really smooth feel. Have lasted a while, but it misses the extra star because they haven't lasted for as long as I would like. I don't play every day, so if the guitar is left to sit for a few days, they get a bit grimey and have to be cleaned with a bit of fret fast. Otherwise nice strong strings.

Always great strings, beautiful sound, lovely feel and my go too strings

very good guitar strings read the review before buying.

Very Impressed with these D'addario XT Phosphor Bronze Light gauge. No guitar squeak and it doesn't hurt to slide up and down the strings. The 1st and 2nd strings feel like nylon strings. So smooth. Sounds great and LOUD, too. This seems to be the best string set I've ever bought. I just hope it lasts a couple of months, or even a year, without any string snapping.

The tone of the strings is good

Good team
