GHS Strings Americana Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Strings - S415 SET - Extra Light Gauge (11-50)

Great strings. Warm without being too warm and bright without being too bright. Very balanced tone in which I prefer and they sound great.These strings and the White Bronze are my go-to and favorites. Recently I've been on a string experimentation phase and tried D'Addario EXP, XT, Nickel Bronze, Martin EC, DR Veritas, Elixir, just to name a few. Hands down, I prefer GHS over all these other brands. The brands I mentioned are ok to my ears, but there was always a draw back regarding longitivity or lacking a balanced tone. You get pretty good longevity out of these strings considering they're uncoated (but cryogenically treated). I usually change these out after a couple months which for the price - is really good.When putting GHS Americana's or White Bronze on my Martin, its like coming back home to what you love and know.

I love how they plate the two small strings good sound

These strings make my guitar sound the way it's supposed to sound I've used them for years

These are great strings, but they are not for my taste. They are very articulate and somewhat bright. I think these would be perfect on a rosewood body dreadnaught or OM size guitar for fingerstyle. And if I had a rosewood body dred or OM, these would be the strings I would get. However, I play mahogany body guitars and prefer a darker, warmer, woodier tone so I actually prefer their vintage bronze set over these. But if I ever do get that D-28 on my wishlist, then I'll stock up on these.

My 2 favorite strings for my 5 dreadnaughts are GHS Vintage Bronze and GHS Americana strings. I like the quality the sound these easily rival Martin strings.

I like these strings a lot

3.5 month update. Strings are still going strong and sounding great. Ill be changingnto the lights to see how the tension changes but stoked on these strings and seem to last much longer than others ive used.First review: A couple days in and still breaking in these strings...I think. So far, the medium gauge strings seem to have higher tension than my other medium strings (Diaddoro Nickel Bronze, Martin Eric Clapton signature, Martin Marquis). So I know, my usual strings are twice the price, so take this reveiw witha grain of salt...but the other strings are brighter, more supple and olny a few hours of break in time required. These sound nice, are bright and loud, but probably better suited for strumming with a pick, whereas I play fingerstyle. Not my jam, and wont keep them on long enough to give a review on the lifespan, but they are loud and certain player will like them. Given the difference in tension, it might be a good idea to drop down a guage if you want to try these strings.

Don't waste your money on these. They were cheap and broke way too easy

I've been playing for over 40 years and thought it time to try out some different string brands. I was very surprised by these strings. They have a good overall balance with warm tonality. I had a small problem with a slightly corroded G string in the first set. Liking the tone, I wrote GHS to inform them, and immediately a new G string and complementary set of strings arrived in record time. Both the strings and customer attention were very impressive. I'm very pleased with these strings. If you're looking for a fresh feel, then I highly recommend you give these string a try!

Tried these after reading reviews in a guitar forum and liked them right away. I play old timey fingerstyle blues and rags. I also like GHS PB thin core strings.
