Amazing material. These strings were worth every penny. The tone and feel were astounding. I never thought I'd come across strings this well made but these strings are for guitarists who care about their sound. I played metal, punk rock, classical and jazz with this and it supports the sound no matter the EQ. If you care about your tone, and your fingers, I guarantee you go for this.

NOTE: Avoid picking or strumming too hard on the strings. Had the low E pop on me during a punk rock show.

probably the best strings I've played.  I've never used DR strings before but Dime's description on the back of the package says it all.  He's not lying, these strings have it all, and I'm noticing the 'RING' he's talking about with these strings.  I just found my new strings!!!  RIP DIME can't go wrong with a legendary endorsement, no pun intended for the election season.

Best I've ever bought. I used to change  strings often because of rusting or unable to slide n pick etc. I've had these for months on my Taylor and still full of sustain, stays in tune like nothing I've ever had. If you want strings that last ......BUY THESE STINGS!

I really love the warm sound of these strings and I was surprised at how good they feel while playing.  I was concerned about string bending since I used thinner EB cobalt 9-42 before but I really don't notice any real difference.  Sliding up and down the lower strings feels smooth the sound is superb.  I played the EB's for about 3 weeks before the high E string broke and then I put these on and I am definitely going to buy more.  I didn't think different materials and different gauges would change the sound as much but to my ears they really do.  As a relative novice I will keep trying different strings and gauges but so far I love these the best for the sound and feel I am looking for.  Kudos to D'Addario!!

Best strings I've ever used. Took some getting used to coming from D'addario. But once you get a feel for them, They shred!  To my ears, They have a more consistent sound. They definitely keep their brightness longer too. Haven't broke one yet either. Meets and exceeds all my expectations.

I experiment with strings and have mostly been using the coated type which is what came standard on my Taylor and Rainsong guitars. I put these Eric Clapton signature strings on my Rainsong and was immediately impressed with the change in feel at both fret and pick hands.  My best comparison would be chalking a pool cue so it doesn't slip on the ball.  They were also louder and more responsive but some of that was the difference between old and new strings.  Another major change (improvement) is the response at the pick which is immediate and almost gives a contact squeak of its own similar to sliding the fret hand fingers over the strings.  I got used to this quickly and it forced me to play with more precision in the process.  I have bought more of these strings and may make them my standard for a while.  I think every guitar player should know how to change his or her own strings and do so often to increase playing satisfaction.  The cost is small compared to any hobby I know.

After experimenting with 2 other brands in a week, these were the strings I was looking for. Super smooth and warm sounding, even right after being strung.

I was trying to match the tone I had on my Breedlove which I bought used. The guitar still sounded awesome, but the old strings looked old and dirty and clearly needed to be replaced. The guys at Guitar Center recommended D'Addario Phosphor Bronze which I did not like at all. Way too bright. I swapped out with Martin SP Phosphor Bronze, which I liked more... but still not the same. They were less bright than the D'Addarios, but still louder and brighter than the sound I had before swapping out the original strings.

Matching the color / style of the ball ends on the strings I narrowed down to either Elixir, or Ernie ball. (All gold-colored ends, coated. D'Addario strings have multi-colored ball ends.)

These Ernie Balls came in yesterday and literally from the first chord I played, I knew the experimenting was over. The tone is AWESOME. If you prefer a warmer Martin-ish sound over a brighter Taylor-ish sound, these strings are HIGHLY recommended. They are also much easier to play than both of the sets I replaced... even though they were 11s and these are 12s.

This is my first set of la Bella strings. The old saying go's get the best strings you can buy. Let me say I'm sold, put then on a Yamaha RBX-EW and the sound was outstanding, the tone of the guitar shifted down to very pleasant full rounded tone. I was not ready for such a shift. All I did was tune and play, no finger noise. Very responsive. I love these strings and will be buying a few more sets, the polish black nylon is smooth as butter. These are a must try, they make any guitar sound better, maybe not your playing so practice, practice. The strings are worth full price if you must buy on the run, but why when there 50% off here

Martin M600 strings just sound better. Clearer. Brighter. More articulated. Other ukulele strings sound dead and lifeless in comparison. You won't find a better sounding uke string.

Great strings! Haven't found ANY better or closely comparable. Sound and feel great for a long time, usually til i end up breaking them in a fit of fun.

String has a good sound and clarity when playing, also it is softer so it's not so hard to press down. It is warm and I will definitely recommend it.

I have never used any other strings apart from these ones. Color coding is effective for easy changing, good sounding strings.

For years I heard how great these are, but never wanted to spend the extra money. Finally gave them a try, and I will never use anything else. I have a cheaper acoustic and it sounded dead and lifeless with regular strings. Put these Elixirs on and now it sounds like a much more expensive guitar. They're extremely comfortable and keep their sound twice as long as a regular string, so I feel that I'm saving money in the end. And either way, if you can spend a little more and make your guitar sound way better, why wouldn't you? They have seriously increased my enjoyment of playing.

One caveat, if you completely de-tune your strings and tune them back up, it can mess with the nanoweb coating. I did this a few times and the coating started coming off the strings. So just be aware of that.

After 27 years of playing steel string guitars, I decided to give nylon string guitars a try. I did a lot of research and decided on this one. I'm so glad I chose this guitar.

First of all, this is not a classical guitar. The thinner neck and more narrow string spacing are perfect for players who are already used to steel string acoustics. The body is not quite as deep as some of my other acoustic guitars, but it's not as shallow as any "thinline" acoustic I've ever played. I don't like to use the word perfect, but I honestly think this is the most comfortable and easy to play acoustic/electric guitar ever. I wouldn't change a thing about it.

I chose mine with the tangerine finish, which is hard to photograph correctly, apparently, as online pictures tend to show it in various shades, from nearly a natural wood finish to a bright candy orange. The actual finish is almost like a translucent burnt orange that the wood grain shows through. It reminds me more of a darker version of Martin's aging toner than actual paint. This is just on the top, though. The back and sides have a dark reddish stain finish. The entire body has a glossy finish and I can find no finish imperfections whatsoever, which is amazing. The neck has an ultra-smooth satin finish that feels practically identical to my Ibanez electrics. I love playing this guitar.

Mine arrived with the high E about 1/4 step flat. Other than that, it was in tune and the setup was fantastic. The action is nice and low, there is no buzzing or dead spots anywhere, and the intonation is spot-on all the way up and down the neck.

The tuning machines seem high-geared, very precise, and hold their tuning surprisingly well for a brand new guitar. The onboard tuner is also very precise and easy to use, with brightly lit LEDs that I'm sure are easy to see on a dark stage. The pickup and preamp sound great, as well. Unlike a lot of nylon string guitars, this one comes equipped with a dual-action truss rod, which is great. A nice quality gig bag was also included.

This guitar is beautiful, plays like a dream, sounds great, and stays in tune perfectly. I couldn't ask for anything more. Do yourself a favor and get one.

P.S.: I thought I should mention that I don't work for Ibanez, I've never spoken with them before, and I paid full price for this guitar. So when I say it's great, I really mean it!
