yes these strings are a little stiffer. but the tone is just right. i play semi professional as a bluegrass artist and just love these. im a lead guitarist and the tone has a nice strong punch with well rounded mids. my brother plays martin 80/20's on rythem and the seperation is superb.

they are guitar strings. easier on the fingers but not quite the volume of the larger gauge. i also had the saddle shaved on my martin acoustic so that helps too. for me they are easy to keep in tune. pretty sure i will stick with them.

I had been playing a Recording King Dirty 37 Series with the stock D'Adarrio strings on it for over 1.5 years. It is a very warm sounding parlor sized guitar, inexpensive but well made, easy playing and pleasing tone. Eventually the high E broke and it was time for new strings. I am not a fan of D'Adarrio, so I decided to give the Martin Eric Clapton strings a try. I was honestly surprised at the tonal difference/improvement. A musician relative of mine had done several informal acoustic jams with me but when he first heard it with the Martin EC's he assumed it was a new guitar and I received many compliments on its rich new voice. I truly seems that different guitars may have certain strings that just fit better. When the time comes I will try a set on my Epiphone Masterbilt Deluxe archtop. Highly recommended.

Montate su Seagull S6 (top abete).Molto simili alle D’Addario EJ16, ma leggermente più calde e meno metalliche, specialmente sui cantini. Ottimo feeling e resa soprattutto in fingerstyle su arpeggi e soli, tanti armonici goduriosi che sembra quasi un organo, mentre sullo strumming perdono un po’ di volume e ritmica rispetto alle EJ. Tenuta accordatura ottima, rodaggio breve (24/48 ore), nessun aggiustamento di setup necessario.È sempre soggettivo con le corde, fra preferenze personali e diverse chitarre, comunque sulla mia S6 e per come mi piace suonare mi sto trovando molto bene. Restano molto simili alle EJ16, ma con qualche gradevole differenza. Penso le alternerò e le riacquisterò. Consiglio di provarle almeno una volta!

Ich habe eine aktuelle Furch OM32, also ein wirklich gute Gitarre.Die Furch spielte jede Martin, Gibson oder Takamine bis 10.000€ locker und in jeder Disziplin an die Wand!Heiner Dreizehnter oder die Gitarren von Peter Finger sind sicherlich etwas besser.Aber ich möchte diese Gitarre nicht in den Vordergrund stellen, vielmehr verdeutlichen, dass die Saiten nicht auf einer Billigklampfe a lá harley benton sitzen, sondern auf einem wirklich nicem Teil!Und die Saiten sind echt richtig gut!Nicht nur für den Preis, sie sind einfach nur sehr gut!Die klingen genau so wie Saiten klingen müssen: brillant, warm und powerfull.Strumming und Fingerstyle, beides top!ie klingen nach Gitarrensaiten, nicht nach Phosphorplastik.Leider musst Du aber auch besser spielen können. Beim Lagenwechsel runter von den Saiten und auch die Spannung in der linken Hand nach oben lösen, weil sie nun mal, was Saiten halt so machen, quietschen wie Sau.Sind halt richtige Saiten für richtiges Gitarrenspiel.Sie halten auch genauso lange wie so genannte longliver.Also runter mit den Kaugummisaiten und hau Dir was echtes auf Deinen Hals!!!Das Quietschen bekommst Du mit einer besseren Technik Deiner Linken Hand weg. Für so einen Sound lohnt sich der Aufwand.Und dann sind die auch noch super günstig.Für den Preis von 2 Sätze von den Purpursaiten spiele ich jetzt fast ein halbes Jahr. Wie geil ist das denn, 60€ im Jahr, nicht mehr 250€.Ich habe noch nie etwas bewertet, aber an dieser Stelle müsste es sein!

Buena calidad a buen precio. El sonido es más característico que el que tenía antes. Ahora sí es una guitarra acústica
