16027 Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - .011-.052 Custom Light Review

Fabulous strings

I bought these on the recommendation of my sales engineer, Jacob Terhune. Had used Martin retros on my D-28 until then. These strings brought the sound of that marvelous guitar t o a whole new level. Sound projects with greater authority and tonal accuracy. My husband-in-law who has been playing for 50+ years thought they were awesome-easier to fret and finger pick. I am sold on… read more them.

Finally!

I gotta say I put off trying these for quite a while due to they're price and how many mixed reviews I've read bit I knew I had to someday. I can't believe it took me this long. What finally got me to was hearing these are what Eric bibb uses because I love his tone more then anything I've ever heard. I always figured alot of that was his technique, which a good portion is but I'm… read more a heck of alot closer to it now! I've also never had a string literally make me a better player. The slick feeling on them allows for incredible ease and comfort on the fret board. Very little movement noise as well, which never bothered me but it does for some people. Anyway I highly recommend trying them at least. Have only had them on a 2 days so can't attest to the lifespan, but seeing as I play 6 to 8 hours a day every day, they are already holding up much better then other strings. If you're not into these and don't like the coating, I recommend la Bella. They have been my brand until now and have never disappointed.

Best Strings for Taylor

So for a long time I've tried different strings for my Taylor 110 acoustic. I searched their site and they recommended the Elixir strings, something I had not tried on this guitar before. I went with the 11-52 set as I wanted a warmer sound. I was blown away. The guitar truly sings now, the strings are amazing and sound crisp but not too twangy. Perfect for my upcoming recordings.

The Best

For the longest time, I'd been shuffling between different brands of acoustic strings. While most of them weren't completely terrible, I was never fully satisfied with their results. I was first introduced to these strings when trying a Taylor at a local guitar shop, and out of curiosity decided to pick up a pack to test on my guitar at home. Since then, I've never looked back.… read more Tone is fantastic, full, and even; feels great against fingertips; long lasting and durable. Plus, given my preference to lighter gauge strings I don't feel like any tone was sacrificed here like I've sometimes found in other brands. I've pretty much tried them all, and I can easily say these, and also the Polyweb Elixir strings, are the best acoustic strings around. Highly recommended!

None Better

I've have my Taylor 316ce for three years and have only used Elixirs. Over time I found the .13's to be harder to play, especially longer sessions at church. I was concerned going to a lighter gauge would cause a loss of bass and volume. Concern not required, these .11's are truly amazing on my guitar and are much easier on my left hand. I literally just put a new set on and the… read more lows, highs and volume are incredible. I find this flavor to be warmer and louder than the 80/20's. Definitely my go to strings!
