Review: Sound great on my Gibson - Love those strings on my Gibson J45. Not overly bright, easy on the treble, and they break in quickly.
Review: Grab a pack - Wonderful. Really wam and full sound to these. Weight isnt crazy light or bass strength level. For an acoustic this is really really quality. The strings feel good to play and sound way better than expected. I often buy bronze strings for the acoustic as it has more of a warmer sound in my opinion. Im happy I got the 3 pack, these will be me lifeline backup strings. Like when I need a new set of strings that are known good.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So does this come with all 6 strings? Im completely new to guitars.**
A: Yes, this is a full set.Specifically this is a set of 3. If you want just one select the 1 pack. (I tried to include a link but Amazon defaults it to the 3 pack for some reason)It is possible to look up and find individual strings, but honestly that ends up being more difficult in my opinion and for the cost you might as well grab a set.I am fairly new to guitars as well, so let me just take a moment to say these strings are highly recommended. Great choice.

**Q: Have a EJ200 Epiphone. Would like to replace strings.  What type of D'Addario strings do I use?**
A: I have a 45 year old Martin d-28 I use the extra light strings EJ 15 3 Dbecause I like to fingerpickthey have a very good warm soundif your guitar is fairly new try the light gauge strings they sound very good too and you can buy 3 packs for under $15 at Amazon. D'Addario makes a good string and I find they last a long time. I highly recommend!

**Q: I bought these for my son and the first two strings broke when he was putting them on. We are on the third set in twenty minutes**
A: When you put on a string, you have to allow enough slack for the string to coil around the tuner post. Feed the string through and leave enough slack so you can  pull the string about 4 inches above the fret board and then slowly wind it up and as it tightens, pause once in a while let the string stretch. Some strings can take a day to stretch, some don't. Be patient. Good luck...but if you don't leave slack for coiling strings will break.

**Q: What 0.10-0.27 means? what is high strung tuning? is it a regular string set for acoustic guitar? and is this set light, medium or hard? thank you**
A: In “high-strung tuning” (also known as “Nashville tuning”), the bottom four strings are tuned an octave higher than standard tuning, like the second set of strings on a 12-string guitar. The top two strings are pitched to standard tuning. Because the strings are a thin gauge, they are by definition light gauge. A guitar with the higher pitch of Nashville tuning is a good accompaniment to many songs.
