I'm a very light player, however I do play quite a lot.

My acoustic is tuned down to D G C F A D, so naturally the heavier bottom gives me that rich and thick sound im looking for. Ive tried Elixir nanoweb and polyweb ... and they do tend to last longer... however i do not feel the sound is nearly as good as the Daddario XT.

So far this is my favorite set for the acoustic guitar, but the sound doesn't last for as long as I wish it would. This set likes to rust quite quickly as well.. even after being cleaned after every use.

So it really is a matter of sacrificing your tone over the amount of time your set may last.

I choose tone personally.

Great Feel

I am a bid D'Addario fan and wanted to try these out. they sound and feel great! I switched after these to try others but as soon as I run out of backup pairs I am going back to these by far my favorites.
