EJ26 : Have been using these strings for 6 years now

10 years ago

Simply put I've tried almost every other set of Elixir/D'addario acoustic strings and this is the set I've always returned to. Cheap and highly functional - using these on a Taylor 314ce and they deliver a beautiful crisp tone without sounding too harsh in the high end - nice presence boost around the 5k area which really helps to cut through in recording situations.

There is quite a high amount of string noise but you could remedy this with something like fastfret if you really wanted to.

These strings last just as long as any other acoustic set (barring coated strings, though these have a vastly different feel and tone in my opinion).
