Review: If you wan't to sound like a guitar god, buy these strings! - I have used many, many different brands of strings over the years and I really feel as though I have found the 'Holy Grail' with these ones. I believe Taylor put them on all of their new guitars as standard now, and I can completely understand why. They last FOR AGES! I play the life out of my guitar and I haven't seen any tarnishing at all. They take no time at all to 'bed in' and stay in tune well. Very easy strings to play, not too hard on the ol' fingers. Value for money as well due to the quality being so high. I genuinely believe if you fitted these to a mediocre or low end guitar, you would improve the sound quality drastically. They have such good tone and really bring my guitar to life.
Review: Amazing sound, long life strings. - Got an acoustic guitar, then you cannot do better than treating yourself and putting on a set of strings that stay new for longer than any other set. Superb strings that sound wonderful.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I buy the 11/52’s in bulk box 25**
A: no

**Q: Please can you add the multipack options including the 25 pack option onto Amazon?**
A: no, this listing is for a single package of strings

**Q: Can these be used on a guitalele, and tuned to eadgbe?**
A: It generally is not a good idea to put acoustic (steel) guitar strings on a guitalele, as most ukuleles are built to take either nylon or flourocarbon strings. The tension needed to tune the steel strings to the correct notes EADGBe can rip the bridge off of the instrument. If you're looking to turn your guitalele into a travel guitar, it would be better to at least use nylon strings. D'addario does make a coated classical guitar string set.

**Q: Hard playing of mediums phospher/bronze.I get three days (9-10 hours) and lose tuneabilty.Rust is not an issue.Help?**
A: I have never had that problem. If you play that hard check your tuners for tightness. These string
