Stringjoy Balanced Super Light Gauge Brights 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings 11-52, BB1152, Vibrant Tone & Optimal Playability, Acoustic 6 String Set

Just installed these Bright Brass lights on a Martin D-41, on which I normally use medium D'Addario or Martin strings. They sound as good as any other quality brand I've used, and the brightness of these bronze strings seem to balance out the heavier bass tendencies of the D-41. The lights do not seem to have too much negative impact on the D-41's projection or tone (compared to mediums). Time will tell if they are worth 2 1/2 times the cost of other quality strings. I tend to change strings every 6 to 8 weeks on my two guitars that I play the most (every day, at least an hour or two).I'll be installing a set of Stringjoy Phosphor Bronze mediums on an older Simon & Patrick (actually a very nice guitar for the $500 range) and we'll see how those do. Lights have never sounded very good on this S&P, so I stick with the mediums (not surprising that the lights do not do well on the S&P compared to the D-41, considering the vast difference in construction, quality, and materials - and price- between the two!). I'll try to follow up after playing these strings for a few weeks and update this review.Update May 25: The Bright Brass Lights are still holding up fine. Might decide to replace them with the Stringjoy Phosphor Bronze. The lights play well but I miss the deep lows of a medium string. All in all, the Stringjoy strings are high quality but not sure yet if they are sufficiently better than D'Addario to justify the increased cost.

I bought an FS830 Yamaha acoustic guitar early in 2019. It had an incredibly rich, deep sound with excellent lows, highs and mid-range sounds. Then I changed the strings after a few months and the guitar completely lost its depth of sound, leaving a weak sounding guitar (many members on the Acoustic Guitar Forum confirm this same experience). "I tried every imaginable brand and size of strings and I could still not replicate the original sound, until now with the STRINGJOY Bright Brass Acoustic Strings!"Here is the reason why: By doing extensive research I discovered that the Yamaha factory installs "Brass Strings" on Yamaha Acoustic Guitars,but they do not sell these Brass strings in the USA.No one sells Brass Strings in the USA (with but a few inferior exceptions). When I discovered STRINGJOY Bright Brass Acoustic Strings on Amazon I immediately ordered them, got them quickly and installed them today."Wow! My great sounding Yamaha is back! I not only got back my depth of sound back with excellent Lows, Mids, and Highs, but the overall sound quality and volume is actually better."(Note: When I get some time on these strings I will be able to update this review and evaluate Longevity.) "Thank you STRINGJOY for giving me back my great sounding Yamaha!"

Even though these strings sound good, they are way overpriced. I did hear harmonics in these strings that I haven't heard in other strings. It does have an immediate break in period that I like, and are in tune. These strings also lack a little depth. I had to change these strings 3 wks later because of the very discordant and annoying loud ping in the G and A strings which never had happened in the much lesser priced strings that I've used. Back to J Pearse et als. Also, the low E was difficult to install, which never happens.

I just put these strings on my Alvarez Yairi, a guitar that just celebrated it’s 42d birthday. The years have been kind to this guitar as the tone has gone from subdued to amazingly mellow. Now with the new stringjoy strings it has definitely added some zip, as well as a brightness that, among my other guitars, was only achieved on my Taylor 214CE. To say I am pleased would be to understate my reaction. Perhaps in the future I may even buy a set for my Taylor.

These are decent strings, but I didn't notice a big enough difference on my Taylor from the much less expensive Martin's I usually use. They lasted about the same, but lacked some of the feel I'm used to. I think it's just personal preference rather than a quality issue. I just can't see paying so much more for something that seems similar. I like the "these are handmade" element, and the handwritten note enclosed, but not enough to keep buying them. Sorry Stringjoy. Turns out it was just an experiment for me.

These are quality guitar strings. I have been playing a guitar for 60 years, and I would say these are the best strings I have used for improving the sound quality of the guitar. Well worth the money. I will be buying more.

Strings are okay. I could buy 2 packs of the Martin strings I usually use instead of one. You can customize your string gauges at no extra charge on thier site and have a totally custom set if you want, but still its $15 when most companies charge $7 or so.

Put them on my grandson’s guitar. Beautiful sound. Wish they would go on sale I would buy more. I have 6 guitars and would put them on all if they were on sale.
