kelly campbell Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I know a guy that works at a local major retailer and he swears by them..I have not tried them but wonder what your opinions might be and if they are worth trying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabarone Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Funny you should ask...I bought a set for a 12-string last week. Planning on putting them on when I get off work in a few hours...I'll let you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Why are they white? Like the polyweb? Guess I could just look for myself...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of GHS. Used the white bronze on my L-00 and liked them for gentle fingerstyle. My ears said the tone decayed after less than 7-10 days, but out of the box they are great for a mid-range acoustic. I've since settled on GHS vintage bronze.

blindboygrunt Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 7-10 days ?? I’m looking about two or three months out of a set of strings 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabarone Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Why are they white? The bass ones are...kinda... I got 'em all strung on (only two punctures to my fingers) and tuned. After a couple minutes beating them into submission one of the high Es and the high G broke... I'm not one of those instrumental intellectuals that can tell you things like, "The hybrid ambience of this string's particular blend really accentuates the mid-range caramel hues of the bracing and you can really smell the wood grain with these on"...they felt like something between my trusty Marquis' and Silk and Steels... Sorry I couldn't be more help...I think that's the most I've ever paid for a set of strings, too... Guess I'll try those Daddario Nickel Bronze...meantime, at least I've got a couple new sets of Marquis Phosphor Bronze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of the most paid for a set of strings, did you see what Martin is getting for the titanium core's? $40.00 a set...I was at sweetwater yesterday and they were sold out..aint no way I pay that much for strings.

kelly campbell Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Thanks for the input..I am not really a fan of coated strings but we shall try them,I guess but if they peter out that fast it will be a one time trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
