There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I put these on a 12 year old Martin D-1 GT and am quite pleased. I normally use Martin or D’Addario light gauge phosphor bronze and I typically change my strings after +/- 25 hours of play. I doubt these strings will change that, however, these strings stay in tune far and away better than anything I’ve ever used.

Sie klingen fett und geil und doch gleichzeitig irgendwie rund und geschmeidig - elegant, biegsam und trotzdem stark. Irre , kaum zu beschreiben .
弦を張って直ぐは、多少6弦に違和感がありましたが、3日経過して落ち着いたのか、6弦も他の弦も確りとJ-45らしく鳴ってました。
後は耐久性でしょうか?何れくらい使えるのか?検証してみたいです。
現時点では合格点です。
