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.

I have several accustic guitars and have tried different strings , I find these D,Addario strings produces the best sound for me. I do use different thickness on the different guitars, but the sound is consistent and lasting.
