So far, these are my favorite strings for my mahogany guitar. I find that they provide a great deal more articulation of the tone than the your standard strings. The nickel gives the mids and highs a bit more pop and the bass is still very strong. For some reason though, the highs are not too high. I prefer the custom strings with Light Highs and Medium lows.

I typically use coated light guitar strings, but needed an uncoated set for my Pickasso, so I decided to swap to this medium set. They're louder and stiffer than what I'm used to and a fair amount brighter / sharper, perfect for the application.In my head I'd assumed they were brass colored, but they very much silver-nickel toned, matching my tuners!

These sound great on mahogany top guitars and are my favorite strings for them, and mahogany guitars are my jam.The martin retro monel strings are very similar, but maybe have a bit more depth of sound in the low end, however, the Martins seem to die after a month or 6 weeks. I mean the 5th and 6th strings start to sound muddy and muted and lose their resonance. These are very close to that sound, but last a long time. They don't sound worse, they're almost identical to the martin monel but seemingly keep their sound/tone/everything for a long time. They also don't corrode even though they're uncoated, and are somewhere between coated and uncoated phosphor bronze strings in terms of stickiness/smoothness.I also really like them on some spruce top guitars, in particular a taylor 314ce. but one of my very old spruce dreadnoughts sounds wrong with them, an old yamaha. I also have them on a cedar top seagull and I disliked them at first, buy I think are sounding better after a week or so. Not sure about that one.I say they're made for and really enhance mahogany guitars. They sound so great on both of my mahogany guitars, a taylor gs mini and an all solid alvarez, and I will buy them for as long as daddario makes them for those guitars.People will ask you why you have electric strings on an acoustic guitar, because they're silver (nickel) in color instead of bronze.

As a newer player, I still deal with finger soreness, and these strings help minimize it. They’re easy to install, even for beginners, and sound great. On my dreadnought, they offer a warm and balanced tone while remaining bright and clear. I’ve bought these twice and plan to keep using them. I may experiment with heavier guage in the future just to see how it changes the sound, but I am very happy with these as they are.

There was a discussion about strings on an acoustic guitar forum and some "recommended" (strongly suggested) trying these strings. I searched the interwebs (YouTube) to see what reviewers said about them. There were several reviews, often comparing the sound of these against other strings. In all the reviews the results were similar. I thought the NB's improved the sound of each instrument.In my case, I have a Taylor 614CE that I was looking to tweak the sound a bit on. I was having a bit of buyer's remorse because I really loved the bass response of the 814ce, but OTOH the 814 sometimes sounded muddy to my ear. The 914 is a $5k guitar and out of what I'm willing to spend. I was just about ready to sell the 614 to look for something else when I tried the D'Addario NB's... and WOW!The NB's brought this guitar to life and did everything that this particular (614) guitar needed to sound amazing. The bass tightened up and projected and balanced out the mids and highs. If you know anything about Taylor, their guitars can be BRIGHT. The 614 being a maple body and sides needed some taming. The NB's help retain the shimmer but tamp down the "ice pick" highs that some Taylors are prone to.To be fair, I've had a set of them on my '81 MIJ Epiphone PR-755s for a week. They're pretty good on that guitar, but interestingly, THIS guitar's sound is not as balanced with the NB's as it is with a fresh set of Martin Marquis.Bottom line: You're going to have to try them for yourself. They're pricier than other sets so you have to be the judge. So far I haven't found anything that sounds as good on my Taylor, and I've tried *a lot* of different strings on it. They're cheaper than Elixirs and (for me) last just as long (I don't like Elixirs either after 2 weeks). I'm finding, for my taste, the NB's retain their sound up to and perhaps past 4 week, but I feel lose some of the extra projection at 3 weeks. Again, you just gotta try 'em to find out.

エリクサーナノウェブ.012-.053 ブロンズ弦から前々から興味があり触ってみたかったので交換しました。チューニングは詳細にも書いてありますが安定しており、チューニングして1日放置していても狂いにくく楽です。音に関しては今までギターを買った際に張られていた弦以外コーティング弦しか使ったことがないので他の非コーティング弦と比較はできないのですが個人的には気に入っています。フィンガーノイズはナノウェブと比較すると出やすいかな?と思いますが私はあまり気になりません。

Mükemmel bir ses tonu var fakat beklediğim kadar uzun süre korumuyor kendisini, bu fiyata biraz daha uzun ömürlü bir ürün beklerdim fakat verdiği ses o eksiği kapatıyor
