Guitar Strings - Acoustic Guitar Strings - Nickel Bronze - For 6 String Guitar - Natural, Clear, & Focused Tone - NB1253 - Light, 12-53

These are excellent strings. So far they are like butter to play down the fretboard. They sound bright and lively. They are not very expensive and easy to play. As far as durability and longevity, I will have to see how they do. They sound great on my Martin.

For my 1980 Martin HD28, these are my absolute favorites. I’ve tried nearly them all, and to my ears these are the fit. Perfect balance, response, resonance and tone.

These sound great on mahogany top guitars and are my favorite strings for them, and mahogany guitars are my jam. The martin retro monel strings are very similar, but maybe have a bit more depth of sound in the low end, however, the Martins seem to die after a month or 6 weeks. I mean the 5th and 6th strings start to sound muddy and muted and lose their resonance. These are very close to that sound, but last a long time. They don't sound worse, they're almost identical to the martin monel but seemingly keep their sound/tone/everything for a long time. They also don't corrode even though they're uncoated, and are somewhere between coated and uncoated phosphor bronze strings in terms of stickiness/smoothness. I also really like them on some spruce top guitars, in particular a taylor 314ce. but one of my very old spruce dreadnoughts sounds wrong with them, an old yamaha. I also have them on a cedar top seagull and I disliked them at first, buy I think are sounding better after a week or so. Not sure about that one. I say they're made for and really enhance mahogany guitars. They sound so great on both of my mahogany guitars, a taylor gs mini and an all solid alvarez, and I will buy them for as long as daddario makes them for those guitars. People will ask you why you have electric strings on an acoustic guitar, because they're silver (nickel) in color instead of bronze.

These strings sound harsh after installation, but they even out and sound quite even and clear after some playing--and hold up a good long time. I wouldn't recommend them for immediate use in stage or studio as they don't sound good at first, but if you want one good set of strings that will last for a while with good tone and even intonation, I think they're a good buy. I don't put them on all my guitars, and don't put them on if there's a gig or recording session coming up immediately--but they're great on my main J-45 when I know I'm going to be playing it a lot. I've had my last set for 8 months and am only changing them now. I'm using the light set, but I'm going to try a custom light set on another guitar just to see how they feel.

Love these strings. Put them on a 3/4 size guitar and they added depth to a guitar that sounded boxy and plasticky.

There was a discussion about strings on an acoustic guitar forum and some "recommended" (strongly suggested) trying these strings. I searched the interwebs (YouTube) to see what reviewers said about them. There were several reviews, often comparing the sound of these against other strings. In all the reviews the results were similar. I thought the NB's improved the sound of each instrument. In my case, I have a Taylor 614CE that I was looking to tweak the sound a bit on. I was having a bit of buyer's remorse because I really loved the bass response of the 814ce, but OTOH the 814 sometimes sounded muddy to my ear. The 914 is a $5k guitar and out of what I'm willing to spend. I was just about ready to sell the 614 to look for something else when I tried the D'Addario NB's... and WOW! The NB's brought this guitar to life and did everything that this particular (614) guitar needed to sound amazing. The bass tightened up and projected and balanced out the mids and highs. If you know anything about Taylor, their guitars can be BRIGHT. The 614 being a maple body and sides needed some taming. The NB's help retain the shimmer but tamp down the "ice pick" highs that some Taylors are prone to. To be fair, I've had a set of them on my '81 MIJ Epiphone PR-755s for a week. They're pretty good on that guitar, but interestingly, THIS guitar's sound is not as balanced with the NB's as it is with a fresh set of Martin Marquis. Bottom line: You're going to have to try them for yourself. They're pricier than other sets so you have to be the judge. So far I haven't found anything that sounds as good on my Taylor, and I've tried *a lot* of different strings on it. They're cheaper than Elixirs and (for me) last just as long (I don't like Elixirs either after 2 weeks). I'm finding, for my taste, the NB's retain their sound up to and perhaps past 4 week, but I feel lose some of the extra projection at 3 weeks. Again, you just gotta try 'em to find out.

Tried these strings for the first time & really like them. I tend to prefer nickel wound strings, & I also tend to prefer D’Addario, so these seemed like a home run. I was intrigued by the claim that these would bring out the “true sound” of my guitar. Damn effective marketing. I can’t definitively say it does that, but I CAN say that they do make my SJ-200 sound like a big, boomy cannon more so than other strings I’ve used. The tone is fairly bright. More so than I expected, but not complaining. Nice punch from the rosewood b/s, & gorgeous sustain. I can’t speak to longevity yet, but if they maintain their sound for any reasonable length of time, I’ll consider switching over to these full time. Or at the very least, add them to my rotation. My biggest concern is the price. As great as they sound, they’re very expensive for uncoated strings. I’m also not 100% sold on the balance. Lows & mids sound fantastic, but the highs don’t stand out as much as I’d like. But again, this is on an SJ-200, so I need to also put them on a more treble-friendly guitar.

boa durabilidade e som limpo

Ho provato decine e decine di corde diverse sulla Taylor 317e. Dopo aver scartato le PB classiche sono passato alle alluminium bronze, poi le 85/15, 80/20, poi coated e non coated ecc. Premettendo che la corda ideale non esiste perchè dipende dai gusti personali e dalla chitarra sulla quale la si monta, in queste corde NB ho trovato il giusto compromesso tra un suono molto naturale senza essere spento, una durata niente male per una non coated (se pulite dopo ogni utilizzo) e soprattutto la cosa che mi ha stupito è una morbidezza mai trovata prima d’ora, persino sui bending (con una muta 12-56 quindi non proprio dei capelli). Le ricomprerò

Estas cuerdas se sienten muy bien al tocar, en cuanto a sonido, es muy bueno, se escuha un buen balance entre graves medios y agudos, muy natural y con buena claridad, esto tambien depende del tipo de guitarra.

I used these for the first time after using Phosphor bronze strings for over 10 years. I was initially not sure as the sound was different from the ones I was used to, considerably less warm. But over time the sound grew on me. The feel was very nice too almost as good as phosphor bronze, no noticeable difference. I haven’t had to change these for over a year and they’re still good, the phosphor bronze ones used to rust much faster and loose their texture. Will be continuing with these for future re l-stringing.
