Review: Good Sound and Comfortable! - These are some really nice strings! I put them on both of my Martins this morning. I played both of them for not very long and I could tell these strings are of good quality. They feel good on my fingers and they sound great as well! The price point is nice as well!!
Review: Dollar for dollar the best acoustic strings going - These are great acoustic strings. They're zingy and bright early on but not spikey, brittle or harsh. Right from the first tuning the low strings reveal nice round bass tones from thumb Travis-Picked lines. Strums are airy and open with drop D tuning sound especially deep and sonorous with these strings. The acoustic I put these on is an older Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-500. About 10 years old, the solid mahogany back & sides and solid spruce top have opened up and the whole guitar is resonant and full. I played a good 2 to 3 hours on these over 2 days and the break in so beautifully. The high end eases back, not so strident & metallic and takes on a cystal clarity with supporting mids and audible harmonics. You have to mute adjoining strings when tuning because any open strings will sympathetically ring out harmonics. They are that responsive. The Martin strings I changed to these were only 2 weeks old and frankly never, even first strum, sounded as good as these Ernie Balls. People debate how long you should go before changing acoustic (and electric for that matter) strings. I personally think changing strings every gig or every session is overkill. You'll hear from roadies of famous touring guitarists (McCartney's band, Chili Peppers, Clapton, Foo Fighters) that they change strings every gig. That may be easy to do when you're making $45,000 for a two hour show. Playing the blues club for beer & wings might be a tougher proposition to pull off. I feel unless you sweat very acidic sweat, which I've heard of, changing strings should only be done when you first notice they just dont feel, sound or tune right. The life of a string does alter the sound profile over time, but I like a set of worn in strings on rhythm guitar and straight strumming acoustics. If the wrapped strings get gunk in them or the unwrapped strings are turning black then change them. I use Finger Ease before I play which makes the back of the neck nice and fast and the strings get slick and fast without feeling coated or sounding muted. The spray helps prolong strings in my view and at under $5 here at desertcart I feel its like a mandatory guitar case item. Try these and many others and you'll find "your" strings. I've been playing for 20+ years so lots of trial and error has guided me to my preferences. The Martin strings on my acoustic before these were put on to try, I still like to check things out, but more than likely I go back to my favorites. These Earthwoods, especially the way the Ernie Ball acoustic .11's don't feel too slinky like some other brands "Extra Light" or .11 gauge packs can be. I love Fender 3550 Bullets .09's for my Strat & electrics but just got some Ernie Ball Cobalts to try...at $5 here on desertcart trying different brands occasionally to experiment won't break you. Just give them a good 2 to 3 weeks of solid playing before issuing your final verdict. All just my opinion of course, be cool...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Size: 2 Pack  What does it mean?  Is it on sale you can get 2 packs or "2 pack" means for something else? Thanks!**
A: I just pulled mine off the listing to avoid confusion as well.  It appears a seller used the UPC code of a single pack to create a 2 pack listing, and then Amazon merged the two listings because of the same UPC code.  Most likely if you order, the sellers at this low price point like myself are offering only a single pack.  It's unfortunate when this happens, I will contact Amazon and see if there is any way to fix the listing.

**Q: I am thinking of getting this extra light set for the reason that it is easier on the fingers. is there better alternative to it? f.e. silk $ steel?**
A: We sell silk and steel strings to a lot of beginners, as well as XL strings.  They are easier on the fingers.  But, the only real solution is to play every day for a couple of weeks, play until your finger pads hurt, then stop until the next day.  In a couple of weeks the skin will be tougher, and you can play any strings you like.

**Q: Pros/cons of light versus medium for sound and action?  i'm 70 about to go back on a friendly stage after years away using a taylor mini accoustic**
A: Custom light, .11 first.
Light  .10 is going to break as soon as you start your bridge or solo! On a baby T you won't get much increase in volume if any with mediums. A little harder to play, a little more base response.

**Q: Trying to get something for my husband. I see the one labeled 12-string. But he also needs a 6 string. Is that just the basic package?**
A: Hello, ths is a set for a 12 string and what that means is there are 6 strings and 6 much thinner strings to be played together. The 6 string guitar needs the standard 6 string set for it. I hope this helps you. - PM
