Phosphor Bronze 11-52

I have not played like i played after i got these stringed up in years. Just WOW. They sound beautiful. I payed for like 45 minutes straight, and i was in the zone like it i was on cocaine. They sounded THAT good.I prefer the lighter strings and the ease of playing them, but you loose a bit of the fullness of the sound with a lighter gauge. These 11-52's are pretty comfortable to play, and the nanoweb coating makes them very smooth and easier to play. They are bright, full, round, great sustain, and loud. Awesome Strings. Period. I am VERY Happy with them.I just can not get over the sound. I had a set of Martin 12-56's Phosphor Bronze on my Yamaha Acoustic before and i thought they sounded pretty darn good, but a little stiff and hard to play after playing my electrics most of the time. But these blow them away in sound and play-ability. I'm not saying Martin's are the best, but they're pretty good sounding, especially for the price. These are 3 times the price, but in my opinion, they just about sound 3 times as good.I read that a few people received sets that they believed to be fake. I grabbed my multi-meter and checked them when they arrived and the set i received did not cause the meter to read as "open". They do if you press really hard with the meter leads, but i don't think that is a totally accurate measure of legitimacy. If these are fakes, they are still worth the price, lol.I was hopeful because of the hype behind these, and since they are pretty dang spendy for a single set of strings. I hope that they last as long as they claim to last with the nanoweb coating. I just put them on like 2 hours ago. I had to write a review, just to share.I will totally buy these again, and i will be ordering a set for a buddy of mine. They are so nice that i have to share the beauty.I will update my review if anything changes.I really hope they last 3 times as long as a typically set, being 3 times the price. That is my only complaint.

I’m a loyal user since 2005! These solved my sweaty hands killing guitar strings. The proprietary coating keeps the strings live and sounding great, even after a couple if months since new! I use these strings O.52-.0.11 on my vintage Martin D-41. They are lighter than the medium version and easier to play. I do a gentle but firm stretch of each string a couple of times to set them in the bridge and on the tuners, then tune. They stay in tune, take a lot of wear, but stay in tune, sounding great.

Well let's see these are great strings I recommend them because I play guitar and I used to buy Ernie Ball strings but I don't really like the last E string it's like a 12 or 13 I think it's a little too heavy awake I prefer a light or like 11 or 10 on the E string I play guitar so I know what I'm talking about there they last longer if you take care of them always you know after you play and your hands are sweaty and and your feet in the strings are kind of sweet you sure that your wipe down good, make it dry again and maybe put a cover over it get protect the strings cuz from the air in the atmosphere other than that they're good strings they should last depending on how you play what you play how long you play and what you subject the strings to so other than that I'd recommend them they're good quality string they sound good they're wound good they have good sound tone quality would recommend

I teach and am often playing my acoustics for several hours a day. These are the best. They feel great. Stay in tune and are a great value for as long as they last. I also use it for outdoor gigs and TT lives as well as writing sessions. Thankful for these strings.

I can just say .. wow ! What a great sound and easy playability , the don’t make a dramatic sound but they are loud in a good way . I thought I don’t play guitar well before getting this strings but now I just realized how important good strings are ! Thanks

Honestly they’re great strings. They feel and sound great, but unfortunately the g string snapped when I was tuning. I’m not sure if it’s something I did when changing the stings or if I just got a bad one. From the elixir website it costs $5 for a replacement string plus shipping so I’d rather just buy a whole new set.

These are great long lasting strings and they arrived in 24 hrs!

The better stings for my acustic taylor guitar. High end stings great tone etc etc
