D'AddarioSilk & Steel Acoustic Guitar Strings - EJ40-6 String - Warm, Mellow Tone - Light, 11-47

These strings are surprisingly soft and supple. They feel like the string tension is significantly lower and definitely make life easier for the left hand (assuming you are a right handed player).They also have a beautiful mellow tone that works particularly well on my electro acoustic which can be a little on the bright and brash side.I'd thoroughly recommend them for anyone who who's looking for something a little easier on the fingers or who would like to turn the 'brightness' down a touch on their acoustic or electro.

Thought I would give these strings a try on my Takamine with a piezo pickup system.Lovely feel under the fingers and sound warm which is what I wanted.Sound good through the piezo and great for mic recording.Over all very pleased just wish they would do a 12 to 52 set.

Great tone, great sustain, great playability, and very easy on the fingers.Can't put my Takamine down.Would highly recommend

I prefer these strings to the standard phosphor bronze. They are slightly more mellow and produce considerably less string noise, even compared to the silk and steel strings which are suppose to produce less string noise that these flat tops. They are expensive compared to the others in the D'addario range but in my opinion, they are better strings.

Having struggled to find lighter gauge strings for a Taylor GS Mini these hit the sweet spot.I've found the shorter scale length has made the strings too tight to bend, especially as the guitar is set up for 12 and 13 gauge.Further, I've found the Taylor overly bright and was looking for a string to give a more mellow tone.I like my action very low and with other gauge strings managed as low as 1mm at top E 12th fret - yes, it can be done.Had to give the tiniest tweak to the truss rod to stop any buzz but these strings still manage about 1.5mm action.They have a lower tension, fuller sound and are wonderfully soft to the touch.

If you play any kind of finger style and are looking for non-nylon strings, these are the ones to go for. They shine in the highs, their tone is incredible in the lows. Get yourself some, try them out, tell me I'm am idiot if I'm wrong. I won't be wrong though ;)

If you don't like the sound of overly bright jangling new strings, try these.Noticeably lower tension, easier on the fingers too!

D'addario is a brand of guitar strings I've been using since my old guitar teacher recommended them when I was 13. Normally I haven't had any issues but on this occasion the D string snapped as I was tuning it.
