Review précis: These strings are from one of the worlds best string manufacturer – stick them on and see what you think! The Full Review Today is the twelfth day that these stings have been on the guitar I restrung with them. They are on a solid spruce topped VGS Root 10 (from German manufacturer GEWA – a wonderful European built guitar). Kind of going off at a bit of a tangent here, but I thought I'd mention something I did differently this time. Usually I would apply a tiny amount of Lemon-oil onto a stringless fretboard and leave for a few hours before wiping off any excess that might still be there before re-stringing a guitar. This time though, a couple of days before I took the old strings off, I Lemon-oiled the fretboard with the old strings still in place – not with gallons of the stuff but with perhaps more than I would normally apply, but not worrying about it getting on the strings, since after all they were soon to be binned pretty soon in any case. The next day the excess was wiped off and even though the strings (and especially the wound strings) must have soaked up some of the oil, there seemed to be a discernable improvement in the sound from these much played strings and it wasn't as if the fretboard was in a bad condition to start with – far from it. The old strings and Lemon-oiled fretboard was left another day and then the strings were replaced with the fretboard wiped thoroughly again, a dry toothbrush over the frets and nut etc and then I put the new strings on. So (possibly) the extra Lemon-oil over a few days might be the way I'll go in future? First Week of the Strings: So – the Ernie Ball Phosphor Bronze strings. The set settled in very quickly. I pinch and pull each string at the twelfth fret a dozen or so times plus some firm strumming of the open-stringed unfreted guitar, and repeat as necessary until the strings are settled – and these settled in very quickly after a few minutes. I like the sound of bright sounding strings and this set of phosphor bronze sounded very bright indeed. The guitar they are on has plenty of sustain and the sound of the strings with that sustain is, for me, superb. They've mostly been picked rather than strummed, but they've only been on three days so far. End of the First Week they were still sounding very bright and without too much loss of quality. They've been played every day for at least an hour or two and now on the twelfth day, they are still bright buy they are starting to be less so – though not yet near being dull or dead. This is what they've been like for me. For someone else and for someone else's hands and playing style I'm sure they might sound different, but the bottom line is that these are still bright sounding strings nearly two weeks in. I don't exclusively only like bright sounding strings and I've missed some of the bassier sounds that I've had from other strings and it has been especially noticeable when playing some Robert Johnson style blues – the songs didn't sound wrong but definitely sounded different to what I normally hear myself playing. They do make every single note and sound clear and bright – and that included duff notes that I've played – but that is the only downside to them that I can think of and I will no doubt be buying them again at some stage. I've bought Ernie Ball strings many times over the last forty-odd years. I've bought sets of Phosphor Bronze before, but I haven't bought a set of these particular (Ernie Ball) Phosphor Bronze strings before, but I'd definitely buy these again.

Great product, but......
Really strong strings that produce a beautiful sound. It has alot of bass to it which I like and I have used this for 6 months + I have only tuned them twice in this time. They take ages to go out of tune. Only trouble I have with this product is that I'm a beginner and these strings really hurt my fingers after 20mins of playing.

Worth every penny for the serious player.
I have 3 acoustics all strung with these strings, ranging from high end to reasonably priced. All sound beautiful with these strings, fitted alongside bone nuts and bridges for which they compliment and enhance the sound. These strings would, I think, suit intermediate players as they produce both soft and bright tones equally well, and when pushed plenty of volume, without fuzz. Easy to play and easy on the fingers. My only reason for not giving full marks around, I had one new G string snap after just a couple of weeks, most unusual, and nothing to do with the tuner ( no sharp edges) so presumably a manufacturing fault. This meant unmatched strings and another set depleted. Point 2 value, I think I would buy more in bulk, as I love these strings, if they were reduced a little more for bulk buys. Great strings in my opinion.
