These have been my favourite strings for my acoustic for years. They are really well made and have a nice life. The sound is something that rings out to the body of the guitar on open strings easily.
Bought for husband who has just finished making his own guitar, he is well pleased with the se
This string has very good quality. Not too expensive. Worth to buy.
Great strings. I’ve just cleaned, polished and restrung an acoustic guitar from the 60s. I was a little worried. No problem with these strings the normal D’addario quality. I won’t say the guitar is perfect but it’s as good as it’s going to get with its age. Great strings from D’addario.
I got these to replace some old strings. They are doing fine so far after a week. The sound isn’t the cleanest I’ve heard, but it’s not bad at all.
LOVE the sound but I had the same pack previously but after a month or so the G string. To be fair i had recently moved to UK from a warm country. and my rooms temp would constantly change and drop. i bought them again since the sound is so warm and lovely but ill keep an eye out and keep my review up dated!
Good quality strings, nice and easy to fit on my guitar sounding beautiful on my classical.
Very good quality in my opinion. Sound quality is good and seems durable
Apart from hurting my hand so I can’t change strings I’ve been using these for years they last well and sound good
These really brought some life to my old guitar, so much so I’m putting them on my new guitar in place of whatever strings it came with.
Like all strings, take getting on for a week for tuning to properly settle down.
Iv used EJ45 before great tone etc,i think some players forget great strings only reflect the quality of the guitar they have great strings do not make a substandard guitar sound good also its the “touch”as a player reflects all…enjoy a quality product..
I fitted these to my 3/4 Cordoba and they’re nice strings. They’re not uncomfortable on the fingers and produce a nice sound. Are they the best strings in the world? No. But they’re a solid quality, especially for the price. I’ve had them on for several months and they’re holding up well, I have string killing sweat so it’s good they’re still going.
These are fine for jobbing guitar tutors or hobby players. You wouldn’t want to use them if you were playing for a living
I’ve been using D’addario strings for years and they’re always excellent. EJ45 are my go to for my classical guitar. They looks nice and have a great tone to them. I don’t replace my strings as often as I should. I left one set on my old guitar for about four years and never had one snap even if they stopped sounding very good. But it was a cheap and old guitar I was using at the time so it wasn’t too important. I have found the B string to be tricky to put on but the others were all fine.
I am usually a steel string player I acquired a cheap Harley Benton nylon strung Flamenco guitar, I tried pro arte normal tension but the sound was thin and one dimensional with little variation in tones, and I found the tension far too soft, I initially put this down to the price of the guitar. I had a problem with the strings slipping on the bridge saddle so to try to alleviate this I put on a set of these extra hards and the difference is amazing! The tone is more dynamic and responsive, the guitar has more tonal variation and responds to the picking attack and picking position on the string. Also the string slipping has been solved, I know I can attack the string and the extra hards really can accommodate my playing style. Some reviewers complain of tuning issues, I just allow a few days of retuning to achieve stability then there is no problem.
I’m no expert when it comes to guitar playing. I’ve been playing a tiny bit on and off over the last twenty years or so, however, and I do know good sound when I hear it, almost regardless of what instrument I am listening to.
In my amateur opinion, these are very good-sounding guitar strings. I’ve touched many guitars over the years with what I can only presume are cheaper and inferior strings, and many don’t even come close. It is a matter of taste, as well, what kind of sound you like, not to mention playing style and your guitar too.
When it all comes down to it, however, I think you can do much worse than get these strings for your guitar. I’m not sure you can get much better, though.
Good clear tones even on an average guitar! My old Spanish guitar bought back from a parental holiday and given to me donkey’s years ago has always been a bit of a poor relation in the guitars I own. When I recently bought a newer nylon-strung guitar I wondered whether I could salvage the older one even a little, since there are some more technical tunes I’ve written that work better on the wider neck of my older instrument.
While strings alone do not make a great guitar, I’m happy to report that they lifted the guitar from below average to “not bad”!
Re-stringing any instrument will make an improvement, but these have worked well on the tone, haven’t affected the intonation at all and have coped with the cheap tuners I bought to replace the originals (which were even worse) well. I’m happy with the choice and will carry on using these for this particular instrument since they’re well suited.
I’ve been meaning to do a proper test for twenty years and I finally got around to it. I sat down with two classical guitars (a bad one and a good one) and eight different sets of strings, including the pro arte ej45s and spent all day trying out all the combinations. The most noticeable differences were all on the treble strings. My good guitar has a sweet spot on the treble strings between the 7th and 12th frets. Only the ej45s and one of the cheap brands brought out the sweet spot, but the ej45s brought it out best. Also, only the ej45s gave an attractive sound on a slow slide. Therefore I am finally, completely converted – these are definitely the best strings for my style of playing. I like to play romantic, melodic stuff mainly – so 19th/20th century classical and fingerstyle jazz. I think possibly for renaissance pieces I might go for a different brand, but for melodic pieces where you really need to bring out some warmth and resonance eg Tarrega’s Adelita, these strings are fantastic, on my guitar anyway. Of course, every guitar is different…. By the way, I found that on the bad guitar it didn’t really matter what strings I used. But it seems like a good guitar needs good strings…
I am a classical guitarist with about 15-20 years of playing experience. I have tried numerous different strings and makes, and I find these to be the best.
What makes these the best?
A number of reasons.
Firstly they are incredibly reliable. I change my strings about once ever 6 weeks, and in about 10 years I have never had a dud or weak string from the pack.
They last an extremely long time. In my student days, I would sometimes keep a set of these on my guitar for 3 – 4 months at a time and, even then, they still sounded reasonably decent.
They are cheap. Currently they are about 5.50, which is by far one of the cheapest sets of strings to buy for the guitar.
They have a beautiful well-balanced tone that is not overly bright or overly mellow. I find this very important. I play a Ramirez SP Spruce, which has quite a bright sound anyway, and I find these complement the guitar very well.
They are easy to play. I use normal tension and I find that you don’t have to press very hard to get a beautiful tone from them.
They stay in tune reasonably well and settle in very quickly.
I bought these strings to replace the ageing strings on my classical guitar that I own, and I was really pleased with them. I own several guitars (a variety of electric and acoustic) but only one lonely classical guitar, so I didn’t really know how I like the strings to feel. So I plumped for a set of normal gauge strings, and these turned out to be the ones that suited me best. I had no difficulty stringing my guitar and the produce a lovely warm tone on my guitar (which is good, as the guitar is cheap as chips). Even better was the strings were cheaper than in any of the local music shops around me (and with free postage) so that’s good.
I would recommend any classical guitarist to buy these strings for there guitar as they are perfect for the job at hand, and hopefully will last quite a while.
Would I buy these strings again? Ask me in about 30 years… No, seriously, I would recommend them wholeheartedly.
I currently use these strings on a borrowed 20 yr old Spanish classical guitar just while I get to grips with the basics until buying a steel string. The guitar itself is not a beauty but these strings make it sound like one with fantastic resonance and ability to hold a note perfectly.
The difference in sound quality when I changed the strings over to these was unbelievable.
____
After using these strings for the past few months, I felt like I need to further add as to how pleased I am with this product. They sound fantastic and hold a note perfectly well when compared to a professional grade string at double this value.
