7812 EQ Hybrid Metal Acoustic Guitar Strings - .012-.053 Light Review

My new favorite

Bought these for my Gibson j35 hoping to restore the tone I had been missing. Gibson stopped making the Master built line of strings that came on the guitar when purchased new and I have tried many different types since with no luck. I gave these strings a shot and to my dismay they sound amazing! Not sure of the science but the combination of copper and phosphorus just balances… read more the tone perfectly creating a tone better than I have ever heard come out of my j35. These strings are coated to make them last longer but they feel like normal strings when fretting. I think the trick is that the coating is very very thin unlike other coated strings out there at a lower cost. Give these strings a shot, they are well worth it! I play finger style and with a pick, I play on a Gibson j35 collectors edition with a terrified spruce top and a nut width of 1.77" . It is a very sensitive acoustic when it comes to strings, hope this helps

Perfect match !

I bought a Washburn HD 10S guitar and hardshell case $300 brand new. It came with cleartone strings from the factory. Let me say that I absolutely loved this instrument and I played it daily for 1 yr at church and home. These strings looked new a year later ! They are better than the elixir strings by far. No one around here sells these strings so I have used others since.… read more But now it's time to go back to the best. CLEARTONE !

Great and reduces feedback.

I have these on two of my (7) premium acoustic guitars. Maybe it's my imagination, but it reduces the tendency to feedback on various amps. I have a hard time understanding the guys that say "one gig and their dead," or "don't last as well as..." I have to wonder if these guys are playing in rainstorms or deserts. Folks the key to longevity, and tone--to a lesser extent--is balanced… read more humidity. I find the strings excellent and balanced, and I usually keep my guitars in my open HUMIDITY controlled studio, whereby I get a good six months longevity. Try playing with a pick and not a quarter or some other metal. Might want to wash your hands before playing?

Great strings, best I ever had on my acoustic guitar

Right of the packing they look so bright and yes louder than any other strings ever owned. Will not buy any other strings from this day forward.

Wow. New go too. Though some may hate the sound.

Read mixed reviews while these were fairly new still. These are amazing! They work in my fender acoustic beautifully, I think they really bring out the sound. I was coming from dragon skins for years but they sound like shįt compared to these now to me. Only warning, they"re very zangy and bright at least out if the box. I"ve been letting them stretch for a few days and they"re… read more still as zangy and crispy as say EBs 10 min outta the box. Since they"re coated and supposedly the best, I assume they"ll retain the same sound, meaning if you like some mellow fingerpickin you sound like these. They"re hella loud too. They don"t seem to have the mute that other coated strings give.
