GHS Strings WB-L White Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Light (12-54)

I play a Godin LGX-SA guitar, which has both magnetic (electric) and piezo (acoustic) pickups, and sends signals from each through two separate jacks simultaneously. I play it this way most of the time, sending the acoustic signal to one channel, and the electric signal through an effects pedalboard to another channel. The nickel strings that came on the guitar from the manufacturer worked ok, but not great. They sounded pretty good through the electric pickups, but pretty dead through the acoustic pickups. I used DR Zebra strings for a while, and they worked really well, but two things happened: 1. The Zebra strings sounded great for a week or two, and then sounded dead after that. They just lost their tone really quickly. 2. For some reason, my high E string kept breaking at the bridge, really often, and I hardly ever broke strings before I started using the Zerbas, especially not the high E string. Then I heard about these White Bronze strings from GHS. I ordered a set and tried them out, and LOVED them immediately. They sounded fantastic as both electric and acoustic strings, and they last a lot longer than the Zebras. I haven't broken a single one of these, either. They keep their tone and stay in tune really well for a really long time, too. I'm very happy using these strings in this way. Not a lot of people play both electric/acoustic simultaneously like I do, but they fit my specific needs really well. I have not tried them on any other guitars, so I can't speak to how well they work on a stand-alone electric or stand-alone acoustic guitar. But I would imagine that they would be great for either.

These have become my go-to guitar string of choice. I have them on my Martin, Loar Archtop with a P-90 and even have them on a resonator that has a humbucker pickup mounted beneath the strings. I've tried resonator strings on my resonator and with the exception of the high B & E strings, the other strings didn't pickup as loudly when plugged into an amp. Although these are a lighter gauge than traditional resonator strings, plucking the strings still gets a good vibration to the resonator cone. For my archtop I didn't want to put pure electric guitar strings or pure acoustic strings and the GHS hybrid white bronze gives me the right balance for the sound I want out of the archtop. And for my Martin, it's a full size mahogany dreadnought. I played the stock strings for a good 5 months and they gave the guitar a mellow tone and I thought that's just how the guitar sounded since it was an all solid wood mahogany. I finally swapped them out and tried a pair of these just to try it out and the brightness of the guitar came more alive with these strings. Added a new dimension to the sound of my Martin. There's a zillion guitar strings out there and everyone has an opinion and preference, but for me and my playing style, the GHS White bronze offer me versatility and as I swap between guitars, the feel and dexterity is consistent on my fingers while allowing the resonance and sound of each guitar to shine.

These strings are good. So are the Martin monel strings and D'Addario Nickle bronze. They are all good. But I don't find them like wow, I have to keep them on my guitar. The idea on all these nickle or monel strings or alloy 52, is that they give a neutral tone. Yes, i get it, but...I'm back to using PB strings, which I buy in bulk. Better to buy cheap strings that sound good and replace more often, than buy more expensive strings that sound good but I'm not blown away by. I flatpick a drednought acoustic...bluegrass, or just songs... Beatles. Oldies. Blues. When it comes to picks and strings, it's all subjective. Depending on your instrument or style of play, you might like these strings.

I've got an ultra-cheap Takamine concert-sized guitar. I somehow connect with it's feel more than any other acoustic I've had, but It's a bit dull-sounding. After searching forums and reviews, these strings were the recommendation. They brighten things up considerably, and they hold up to my uses - I actually tune the whole instrument down a full step, and often drop the low-E down another step to C - and occasionally all the way to a G below. That string gets floppy, to be sure, but with a gentle touch, it's still taught enough to drone a low note. I don't know if the tension of all acoustic strings would handle that, but these work, and I have no plan to change.

Strings last a really long time. I use a magnetic pickup and these are the best for a pure balanced sound on magnetic pickups. They also sound really good acoustically. Not as bright as bronze but close and very nice sounding. Feel is good and they seem to last for months. My go to strings on all my guitars with magnetic pickups. Nothing that i have used comes close to these for my particular setup for live playing.

I was looking for strings for my archtop that would give me decent acoustic volume and be pickup friendly. These did the trick. Reasonable!e tone both plugged in and unplugged

It's one of those guitar String Gauges and String Material that can really make certain Acoustic Guitars just plain sing. Definitely worth trying out for yourself!

These are my favorite acoustic guitar string. I use them on a Taylor 712ce-12fret. It's a Taylor, so it's bright, but not as bright as most Taylors. These strings conclude a 5 year journey to find the right string for my acoustic. I strongly encourage giving them a try. You can also buy them in bulk direct from GHS

Le top du top pour guitares électro-acoustiques. Ca transfigure le son, je les ai monté sur une epiphone ej-160e et ca a changé sa sonorité. La jouabilité à elle aussi gagne en confort. Désormais pour ma part je ne compte monter que ces cordes sur mes guitares électro-acoustiques. C'est un Must !!!!

I've been trying all-sorts of string for almost a year and after alot of reading coke across these mentioned so I got a set for my Lennon ej160e I don't want the Beatles tone I got the guitar for sentimental reasons nothing to do with Lennon .. it just so happens to be a signiture edition .. with these strings it finally makes the sound I want

Nice song nice shipping Good price thanks

In meine alte Ovation aus den 60ern hat ein Gitarrenbauer einen Halspickup von einer Tele eingebaut. Mit den üblichen Bronze Saiten war der Klang akustisch gut aber elektrisch schrecklich, total unausgeglichen die umwickelten Saiten klangen dumpf und viel zu leise. Mit den White Bronze habe ich akustisch einen schönen vollen und differenzierten Sound und elektrisch ebenso. Trotz Egitarren Pickup klingt sie am Amp eher wie eine Akustikgitarre zumindest solange man nicht in Overdrive geht. Bin absolut zufrieden. vor einiger Zeit hatte ich eine andere Saite probiert für die selbe Aufgabe , hießen Zebra und waren aus zwei unterschiedlichen Metallen gefertigt. Die klangen elektrisch sehr gut, rissen aber leicht. Die kann ich allerdings nirgends mehr finden. Daher ist die White Bronze von GHS im Moment die einzige Saite für den Job.

Also vielleicht hab ich ja die falschen erwischt, aber diese saiten werden doch als speziell gut für akustisch-elektrische Gitarren beworben. Sprich: sie klingen akustisch gut, haben aber trotzdem solche magnetischen Eigenschaften, dass sie auch über einen Pickup (magnetischen) gut klingen. Das ist NICHT der Fall: die blanken Saiten sind viel lauter als die umwundenen und genau das sollte ja vermieden werden. Da kann ich gleich normale Akustiksaiten auf meine Jazzgitarre aufziehen. Schade.
