If you wan't to sound like a guitar god, buy these strings!
I have used many, many different brands of strings over the years and I really feel as though I have found the 'Holy Grail' with these ones. I believe Taylor put them on all of their new guitars as standard now, and I can completely understand why. They last FOR AGES! I play the life out of my guitar and I haven't seen any tarnishing at all. They take no time at all to 'bed in' and stay in tune well. Very easy strings to play, not too hard on the ol' fingers. Value for money as well due to the quality being so high. I genuinely believe if you fitted these to a mediocre or low end guitar, you would improve the sound quality drastically. They have such good tone and really bring my guitar to life.

best ive used so far.
best strings I have used so far, don't try to be a chad and get high guage... these are genuinely very full sounding, and dont require crazy hand strength to play.

Best acoustic strings ever
These are the best acoustic strings I've ever tried. Whether phosphor bronze or the 80/20 version. They last waaay longer than non coated strings. They're well worth the extra money. They may cost double, but they last multiple times longer than a standard set of strings, making them far better value for money.

X's or not to xs?
They feel a little weird and sound close to Uncoated strings but obviously not quite. If you want better feeling/sounding strings and you don't mind slightly less string vibrancy over time the other X model will do just fine.

Amazing sound, long life strings.
Got an acoustic guitar, then you cannot do better than treating yourself and putting on a set of strings that stay new for longer than any other set. Superb strings that sound wonderful.
