Fender 880XL Dura-Tone

Stayin' Alive

I am a gigging acoustic guitar player playing a mid range electro acoustic guitar mainly fingerstyle. These strings make my guitar sound better. The bright new string sound and the fresh new string feel last longer than any other strings I've used. These are not only fantastically priced they sound the best. They stay alive longer perfect for the live guitarist playing long acoustic sets. I would highly recomend trying these, just stick a set in your basket from another purchase to try. You will come back and buy more!!

Great performance/price ratio

Nothing too fancy here, it is just a "value" string set. I found them perfect for a practice guitar or if spending money on more expensive strings is not justified.

All in all, the choice of strings is something very personal and the best advice I can give is just to give them a try. Another good option is to have a cheaper set like this as a spare in your gigbag.

The only obvious con of these strings is that you cannot expect a degree of durability as good as other brands like Elixir, but considering the price tag, this was also to be expected.

Clear sound, doesn't stay so long thou
