Daddario XSE1052

Great strings

Great for any style of playing - it doesn't matter if you play fingerstyle or with a pick, death metal or jazz. They sound great. Only problem is that they start to rust after half a year, but, comparing to other strings, that is quite a long duration for a strings.

Very goodf

Excellent in everyway, missing just a bit of crispyness.... some sparkle, but overall excellent =)

Great tone, feeling and tuning stability

I loved these strings from the first use. Absolutely great sound and feeling. They were very stable, not wobbly on the thicker strings.

And also I was really happy with the tuning stability. Needed only some very fine tuning rarely.

Maybe just as cons, the coverage of the strings is getting shredded. On the place where the strings contact with the pick, the cover is getting destroyed and turns into visible plastic fur. Not really an issue for a playing process, but just looks not that great anymore.

But all in all, these are the strings of my choice now, no doubt.

Before I was very happy with DR DDT strings, but these ones raised it to a higher level. Totally recommend!

Durable Daddario

These strings can live ½ year though the rough heat, dust, salt and occasionally wet climate in south-west Crete. They are easy to change and get in tune, stays well, take bends and sounds very close to non-coated strings. Actually I like the smoothness of the coating. Highly recommendable.
