Great strings

Takes a little longer to settle and keep tune but once thats out the way the strings hold very well and sounds good.

Nothing negative to say on these strings at all, sound especially nice on Ovation Round back guitars for which they were originally intended, although they perform great on other guitars,stay in tune well and have good lifespan. All these good points and at a pretty good price. If you have not tried Adamas strings before, give them a go they could well become your first choice for acoustic guitars

Adames 1717 - not only for Ovation guitars

Those strings are really great. I used them on my Cort acoustic before I made an overhaul and changed the strings. The new ones weren't Adames strings and don't sound as good as the 1717s so I will get back to those when the next overhaul is coming. The sound is brilliant, especially the highs sound great. Furthermore, they are also very durable, I really liked playing them.
