12-gauge strings are ideal for any Jumbo or Dreadnought acoustic guitar, phosphor bronze will stay brighter longer than bronze, although bronze are brighter to begin with, and D'Addario's are my favourite strings (ditto a lot of professionals). But if you have a smaller "folk" size or small fingers or you want something kinder and more delicate 11-gauge are the best option. Either way, buying 3packs at a time saves money (and you need to change your strings after about 2 months so you'll soon use them_. Only thing I wasn't happy with the advert showed them in the original pack, but only the inner pack was posted. I'll still say 5 stars because the ad did say that somewhere and I know they were genuine strings, but the seller should add a photo of what you actually get. Nevertheless, highly recommended.

Bought these to refresh the original D'Addarios fitted to my Freshman Apollo 3. Not only chosen by luthiers to sell their own products, these phosphor bronze strings add that little extra twang and bite that an electro acoustic needs to cut through, but can also chime sweetly when plucked. Recommended.

I write this as a novice in the world of guitar strings, the tired old ones formerly on my (only occasionally used) guitar having long since passed the point of retirement, but I've no reason to think I didn't make a bad choice with these Phosphor Bronze. The sound is bright and loud and clean, with a lovely metallic edge to it that speaks to me.

Strings: D'Addario EJ16 Acoustic Guitar Strings 12-53 .Phosphor Bronze, Light Gauge Guitar : Taylor Big Baby Tuning: Standard - EADGBe Generally D'Addario strings rarely disappoint and will maintain pitch This review is specific to the Big Baby. A lot will depend on your style of play but the 12-53 light gauge suits fingerpicking really well.

I keep on trying cheaper brands but come back to D'Addario phosphor bronze strings for most of my acoustics. They give exactly the tone I like. I prefer 12 gauge for finger style playing. Also, I've got acidic skin that kills strings in no time and these survive better than most. Coated strings do out last them, and I do use them, but they're considerably more expensive.

These strings are of very high quality and vacuum packed to preserve that quality. I have used this brand of string for literally years and they last a very long time under normal playing conditions. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a decent reliable set of strings.

I always gravitate towards D'Addario strings for my acoustic guitars because I think they are long-lasting, enhance the sound quality of my playing and are consistent in their construction and manufacture. I can't really imagine using any other brand at this juncture. Brilliant product!

I always used to use D’addario strings but then found myself using other brands. I bought these again as I changed string gauge, these strings do sound tinny at first but once bedded in they sound lovely. For reference I’m using them on an Epiphone ej200 with bone bridge pins, nut and saddle
