    I mostly play guitar at church to accompany the piano and to keep time. The strings are plenty loud enough and have a really nice tone with my Martin Guitar.

  • Will purchase again.

    I didnt buy these strings from GC.But, i put them on a brand new out of the box upper echelon 12 string .I was not really happy with the Daddario strings that came on guitar.So made the journey to local music store and browsed thru their strings.These strings actually made guitar sound liked i imagined it would.

  • I would buy this product again and have.

    I am a bass player by trade but I found a 1970 'framus 12 string acoustic that I learned how to play back then, which I picked up. I always used Martin strings back then, so I figured I'd stay with them.

  • I would definitely buy this product again.

    I use this product with the 12 string Martin I bought at Guitar Center. The string I chose is the top of the line long lasting acoustic guitar string.
