2568 Aluminum Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - .011-.052 Light Review

I’ll be stocking up just in case?

Simply put, these are the best sounding strings I've ever heard. I put them on a Dean Exhibition and then immediately proceeded to order some 12's for my Fender. I actually ordered multiple packs of the lights and Med lights. I may even try them on my parlor guitar next? Seriously, give them a try.

Great Strings

I purchased these Strings for my Ibenez I purchased these strings for my Ibenez 295L Acoustic, they seem too have good tone, not as bright as I thought they would be, could be the Guitar too, they do sound really good and stay in tune, may go with the Ultra Light Strings next time, changing strings is the cheapest thing you can do. Thank to my Sales Rep. Jordan Clohessy, awesome… read more service as always.

Great, Long-Lasting Strings!

My go-to guitar is an older Takamine EF341C. Having tried numerous strings on this guitar, I have to say that the Ernie Ball Aluminum Bronze 2568 011-052 are the best strings ever for this guitar. When I play, the shows last 3 hours. That's three hours of hard strumming and sweat. Most other strings have to be replaced after every show. These strings have gone THREE shows; something… read more I would never have tried with confidence before. The tonal range is fantastic, balanced and long lasting. The strings feel good and have great reaction over longer periods of time. It's my hope Ernie Ball continues to make these strings for a long time. And I will continue to get them from Sweetwater because they're the best!

All-around Winner

I look for three things in a string: tone, durability, and affordability. This string is the best example I've found of all three of those things coming in the same package. They are loud, round, and not overly bright after initial play-in, and maintain a good fundamental longer than the phosphor-bronze I'd been using. They seem to withstand humidity well (though I wasn't using… read more them in the swampiest of months). And they feel good after a little play. I use them on both my Martin and J-45, and they transformed the Gibson. Get 'em.

The Best Strings for Acoustic

These strings are the best for my acoustic guitars. I use the 11's on my 1910 Washburn parlor guitar and I use the 13's on my 1975 Martin D35. The sound is clear bright and robust. These strings wake my guitars up and make them sound bigger then they are. I disagree with other reviewers that say these strings don't stay in tune because they do. Prehaps try stretching out your… read more strings before playing or go to a heavier gauge. I buy these strings from sweet water all the time and each pack I get sounds great. I won't use any other set of strings for my acoustics.
