D'Addario XT Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Custom Light, 11-52

I have been using these strings for a long time now. I play guitar almost every day, these strings are still holding good.1. The sound is bright and vibrant.2. The phosphor coating makes it quite resistant to rust. Now my strings have developed some rust, but it hasn't effected the sound quality by a lot.Well the only thing I didn't like was that, it is a little pricey set of strings. I bought it as I needed a good set if strings and wanted to get something new.Choose what your guitar wants and try new and different strings, who knows you might find something great for your guitar.

Tried these on as an experiment and I must say Im thoroughly satisfied with the results.The durability and ability of these strings to stay in tune for longer periods is a big plus point.I suppose the cost too is justified.A big YES to this

Review after 2 weeks of usage (used on Yamaha FS-800, concert shaped guitar)-The bass strings are surprisingly heavy, initially (after sometimes the tones gets balanced among all the strings) it totally overwhelms the mids and the highs, it's a good thing if you're heavy into strumming, but for me it took a bit to get used to as I play a lot of fingerstyle.-The mids. During the first 2 days the mids were very low sounding, there's no feel in the D and G strings. But as you keep playing the sound grows, after like 5 days to a week the mids really started to shine, now the mids are the best part about these strings. It truly sounds great.-The highs. Nothing special, it's there and gets the job done, but it's not very sharp (which is surprising considering it's a thinner gauge).Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to the beginners, if you're heavy into strumming get a thicker gauge, but for a mix of fingerstyle and strumming these strings are the way to go.PS- These are coated strings so it's long lasting, if you don't like to change string often get these, a bit on the costlier side but definitely will last you 3-4 times longer than the cheap non-coated strings.

Good value but one of my strings wnd is kind of fibery for some reason

In the beginning the bass comes from these strings are real sweet with additional warmth, as I installed these in my Cort SFX-ME OP that has rosewood neck and ivory body, so now it's been a month and bass slightly decreased and mids increased, so yeah these are good, choose as per your taste in sound

This packet was terrible. This one started rusting in under a week. Bear in mind, I'm a process guitarist so I take very good care of my guitar and strings so this in unacceptable that a premium set of strings goes rusting so fast.

These strings aren’t neither too light neither too hard. These strings sound amazing. If you’re a beginner you might feel they are difficult to play at first but you’ll get used to it eventually.Price is on the higher side because they don’t need to be changed frequently.

To be honest I'm a bit disappointed as I expected the strings to sound warm and deep but they are bright. The bass produced by the strings is less too.
