Valuestrings WE 12-53 : Very happy with these strings!

11 years ago

I wasn't expecting much for strings priced at under £1. I took a chance exactly because they were so cheap - I figured I wouldn't be gutted if I had wasted a pound. I bought a few packs - I thought they might be ok for busking if nothing else.

I was extremely pleased to find that not only are these string not a waste of money, but they are quite nice strings. They aren't as nice as say, Newtone or DR Rare, but they are probably on a par with the Martin PB.

I put them on my busking guitar (Japanese 70's spruce top and lam RW back and sides) and was so pleased, I also put them on my Martin D28. I probably will keep using Newtone on the D28 as they suit it so well, but I was not disappointed with the sound or feel of these strings. I will keep a couple of packs of these as spare strings for the D28 and also keep using them on the busking guitar. If money gets tighter, I will have no problem using these on the Martin full time.

Well worth a try!!!
