Coated Phosphor 012 Anti Rust : On par with EXP's but not as good as Elixiers

8 years ago

For the money these are great.

However, one string tarnished (D string) very quickly. I'm not sure if its just an unlucky bad string or something that is common in these sets. having said that I've had two sets of D'addario EXP coated strings that are much more expensive and also had problems with one or two strings tarnishing quickly and in fact having corrosion specks on them as new.

I've not had this problem with Elixier strings which so far for me have been perfect on opening and lasted for a long time without corrosion or tarnish signs.

Still to the point on these strings, they're still pretty good for the money and would certainly buy them over D'addario EXP's.
