Easy on the Fingers

I love these strings. Very playable and easy on the fingers. Makes my guitar so fun to play. My guitar had 12-53 gauge strings, but this 10-50 silk & steel didn't degrade the sound. The bass notes remained the same but the G, B, & E strings sound brighter with longer sustain. In the end, it's about how easy it is to play.

Well, I bought these for comfort and I really liked the way they felt, but they were so light that They had a tendency to buzz and I had to scrap them - I have since adjusted the neck of my guitar and may try them again - They did feel great.

    Great strings. Would use some sort of cleaner between sessions to keep them in prime condition since they're not coated, but other than that they're awesome.

    nice soft strings for practice, draw back is that they are noisy and the wound strings do wear out quickly and break at the tuner.

  • Love these strings!!!!

    I've been through all the D'Addario and the Martin strings without much happiness. These Ernie Ball extra soft strings are very good. They keep their "zing" for a long time and have a lovely tone even after they calm down. They are softer to the touch but not crazy soft. These are a good choice.
