2548 Everlast Coated Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - .011-.052 Light Review

These are more expensive but still a good value and since they are coated… read more the tone lasts longer so I change them less frequently than uncoated strings.

Not impressed

I've been using Elixir strings, decided to try some other coated strings. With the EB, the low E has a weird overtone, and the high E string broke right away when first tuning it up (standard tuning, nothing fancy.)The strings don't feel 'slippery' like the Elixirs, though.
