Made a cheap guitar sound great !

Years ago I bought a cheap Esteban acoustic guitar to practice with when I was laid up with a broken ankle. Wasn't a bad guitar but you get what up pay for. I decided to take it out of the case and put new strings on it. WOW ! These MA530 strings made a world of difference. Now that old cheap guitar sounds and plays great! What a difference a new set of strings make. These strings made a big difference. These strings and make even a cheap guitar sound and play great !

Very Nice

Really adds to playability without a sacrifice to tone. Made my Martin easier to play and still sounds full on the high, mid, and low ends.

    I'm not sure I love these and will be my go to forever strings, but they sound crisp without a lot of harshness, they stay in tune very well and feel rather good. There are some other brands I want to try to see how they compare. But the bar is pretty high. You can't go wrong with these.

  • Good strings
