Go to strings for the last 10 years
Anonymous 31.03.2017
Ive used these strings since I started playing guitar again 11-12 years ago. In that time I've tried numerous other brands but always come back to these.

I find these strings are easy to break and once they have broken in they retain their desired tuning well. They last fairly well and remain bright for me for 3-4 weeks, which is about 1 hours play time a day.

I use this gauge of string for D standard on 25.5 inch necks and E standard on 24.75. They have a nice even tension across the fretboard.

I also use this gauge on a 27 Inch baritone in A, with a 60 on the low A.

Overall this pack represents great value for money as they last me a good while and I haven't broken a string in while, admittedly I tend not to play to many solos so can;t give an honest review if you send your time on the higher strings.

I really like them!!!
Isaac Campos 05.03.2019
Just that...
I find in them anything I need, tone and definition-wise, and I just couldn't be happier with their quality!!!
I like to play around with different tunings, and thet offer a wide range of gauges. Also, the fact that a huge range of singles of any gauge are available to customize sets, is brilliant!!!
From time to time I try other brands, and many are OK, but is just I have found my feel and tone with D'Addario, and I'm always going back to using them.
It's a matter of taste, as always when sound is involved.
For me they're PERFECT, I love them!!!

Excellence from D'Addario
theskirrid 16.06.2020
Great set for mild down-tuning, and for those who like a huge bottom end.
Used on 24.75 & 25.5 scale guitars down to drop C and open C tunings, with no stability issues, weird mis-matched tensions or flabbiness from the strings.
Well wound strings, they even cope in an '90s Floyd equipped Yamaha Drop 6 [28" scale] without coming apart in a month.
Good tone, long life [but I'm not a super sweaty player] and a good price.
Still can't get one baritone to play well, that needs 12-60's but for most of my guitars these rock!

Good for mild downtuning
JCS84 02.07.2019
These strings sound fantastic when they're fresh and they retain some of that character for a surprisingly long time. I use this set on a 25.5" scale guitar with a floating bridge tuned to D-standard. The tension is perfect in this gauge and no matter how much I abuse the whammy bar not a single string has ever broken. The NYXL might be a step up but in most cases these are just fine and you can't beat the price of this 3-pack.

Lasting brightness
Zift 14.04.2020
Bought these to test. Have had them for about 9 moths on a Les Paul which I only play at home. Surprised at how it has retained brightness over the period. Tuned low, tension is no issue but would be a little harder to bend on standard tuning. Price is reasonable for the pack. Would definitely use them for recording.

Great strings, super fast service
Anonymous 18.05.2014
These are fairly bog standard strings in the grand scheme of things, with no coatings or fancy metals present.

However, they have been doing the goods for years for me. They sound great after being stretched in and played in for an hour or two, and they stay really good sounding and hold tuning well until they finally start rusting, usually after a month of abuse.

I don't look after my guitar strings, never clean them, I sweat a lot and play for a couple of hours every day, and play them hard.

This particular gauge (10-52) is ideal for flats tuning where you want to keep high tension for fast palm muted notes and avoid string warble on big open chords.

Service from Thomann was fast as ever.

Works well on Drop B baritone (26.5)
Akshay 01.03.2023
I have been using this gauge on a baritone guitar (26.5) for years. It is not too tight nor too loose on Drop B on this particular scale. It's a good balance for rhythmic and lead performance.

The strings are very durable and can last easily for several months while keeping their bright sound. They will withstand any aggressive picking styles as well.

Definitely recommended.
