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

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

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.

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.

Bought these for accoustic guitar. They have lovely tone but were not really loud enough without amplification. I believe they are really meant for a nylon string guitar. They do have a lovely tone though.

These produce a rich sound with my Jean Larrivee

Best acoustic strings I've tried in a while. I play electric with light gauge strings 90% of the time - these acoustic strings are much lower tension than most others I've tried and it's really easy to get around the fretboard. If I was gigging, not sure - noticeably quieter and less low end. But absolutely great for noodling around at home.

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