User Reviews:
Value:
Multi-pack purchase price (eg. 4 packs for $20-$24.95) would be a welcome sight.
Desirability:
Regardless of instrument(6 or 12 string), these model strings in any gauge turn more heads. Guitar just sounds more premo.
Sound:
brings out the smokey tone of a quality instrument, suppliments smokiness in less expensive guitars. Nice and bright. Record well. Lasting tone. Not as chimy as some 80/20 and others.
Overall:
Have used these for 27 years, on stage, in studio. Have converted many players to their use.

An ultra-fine layer of D’Addario’s exclusive EXP Coating is bonded to the 80/20 Bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire, resulting in a built-in barrier against corrosion and wear.

ZEBRA electric-acoustics! Yes, for acoustic-electric guitars with piezo pick-ups under the bridge… or magnetic pickups in the sound hole. Any amplified acoustic comes alive when you put on the Zebra strings. Revolutionary because no one has ever done this before, and no one else does it yet. It is the very first string where you can see the difference. Every other coil is nickel-plated steel, every other coil is Rare phosphor bronze… wound on round-cores.

Designed from the inside out for balanced performance in tone and feel, Phosphor Bronze wrap wire produces a rich, full sound with even tone throughout the harmonic range, while “Composite Gauging” provides for a set that is consistent in tension and amplitude from string to string.

I have an older Ovation acoustic/electric (1973ish) and these strings have the best tone and sustain of any other string I have used.I save my old strings and give them to a friend of mine, he hasn’t broken a string either and his older Ovation sounds good. He did have a problem breaking “A” strings.
