Great strings, little bit pricey nowadays

Great and warm strings on my Takamine AN16 (Solid Spruce top with solid 'Indian' Rosewood)

On non-solid guitar (Fender CD60) it did not have a quite impact

Great strings. Low tension.

I put these on my 35 year old Yamaha FG-series dreadnought, because I was specifically looking for strings that are low tension. They feel pretty slinky and are easy to play. The sound is pretty good: warm and round, with rich overtones. They are maybe not quite as crisp and sharp sounding as some other brands. The gauges of the 3 lowest strings are light (30, 40, 50) which really tames the boomy bass on my Yamaha.

Concerning durability, they seem to last as long as the other major brands. I change them every 6 months.

Great strings sounds amazing on my acoustic guitar

What can I say,

I'm really happy with these strings, I've been using them for a while now, testing all the different gauge, and seems finally I found the perfect one for my guitar.

Great Strings

I am not a professional guitarist and haven't tried a dozen strings but my opinion is that they sound and feel great and I prefer the sound of them from the previous expensive Elixir ones.
