Luthier 20

Terrible, do not buy.

I decided to give these another go after many years as they have a new campaign saying they have changed, improved etc. They were appalling and what's worse is that after a few days I entered my studio to find the fifth string was broken. As a professional guitarist for over thirty years I find these strings totally unacceptable. I would not recommend any of my students to buy these and for a pro, forget it. Come on Luthier, surely you can do better than that?!

Pleasing sound

I have been trying out flamenco strings on my Yamaha NTX900. Never sure which to buy or the tension part, so I have been trying out a few brands and tensions.

Bought these as the feedback was good. I like them as the sound is bright and rich.

The vacuum pack for the strings is also a plus.

Pleased with them and will buy again.

Do try them, well worth it!

I am using these strings on a medium-range, Spanish factory-made Flamenco guitar...solid spruce top, laminated Sandalwood back and sides. The guitar was setup at the factory with D' Addario Pro-Arte normal tension strings and sound and feel was very good, but I was looking for a little more brightness without brittle sound. Luthier 20 strings give this brighter quality, but with richness for this guitar, and from use of this set on other instruments they last a long time in my experience, as do the D' Addario.

Keep in mind your results may vary, a lot depends on the instrument and your playing style of course, but I am very happy with these strings!

The 3rd/G/sol is a little "tubby" as many Flamenco guitarists will comment on about many strings, but on my guitar it is not so much as other brands.

I like that the basses are vacuum-packed. Trebles are not but all treble strings I have tried seem to not be affected by the same (reasonable) conditions that can affect basses.

Anyway, objectively I think these are very well made strings, and subjectively work very well on my guitar!
