Overview
Not a coated long life string, this D'Addario pack holds three sets of classic phosphor bronze wound over a hex core. The custom light gauge is easy to play yet gives a bit more volume than extra light.
Easy playability with warm, balanced tone is the reason to stock up. Being uncoated, they lose brightness faster than coated sets, which suits players who restring often anyway.
Who it's for
Students, teachers and regular players who go through sets quickly. Players who restring rarely may get more from a coated set.
Pros and cons
- Three sets per pack
- Warm, balanced tone
- Easy playing gauge
- Hex core for stability
- Uncoated, shorter tone life
- Light gauge, less volume than heavier sets
- Acoustic guitars only
Performance notes
Tone comes from phosphor bronze wrap over a high carbon steel hex core, which grips the wrap so pitch stays stable. The lighter gauge lowers tension, which eases fretting with slightly less volume.
