Review: The best strings? - I have a Martin D28 guitar, so maybe I’m biased, but these are the best strings for that and my other acoustic guitar (a Takamine). I’ve had these on for over a month and am recording an album, but they still sound bright and resonant.
Review: Value for Money - Great strings, very happy cutting
