If you wan't to sound like a guitar god, buy these strings!
I have used many, many different brands of strings over the years and I really feel as though I have found the 'Holy Grail' with these ones. I believe Taylor put them on all of their new guitars as standard now, and I can completely understand why. They last FOR AGES! I play the life out of my guitar and I haven't seen any tarnishing at all. They take no time at all to 'bed in' and stay in tune well. Very easy strings to play, not too hard on the ol' fingers. Value for money as well due to the quality being so high. I genuinely believe if you fitted these to a mediocre or low end guitar, you would improve the sound quality drastically. They have such good tone and really bring my guitar to life.

Best acoustic strings ever
These are the best acoustic strings I've ever tried. Whether phosphor bronze or the 80/20 version. They last waaay longer than non coated strings. They're well worth the extra money. They may cost double, but they last multiple times longer than a standard set of strings, making them far better value for money.

Similar price and quality to Elixir
These are the fully coated strings, as opposed to the black packaged ones that have coated wires. This means they clean easier and collect less crudge. Longevity should be similar as corrosion protection is the same. They look like Elixir, sound similar to similarly specced Elixir and are about the same price. I prefer the feel of Elixir though as I slide and slur strings. That said, if and when the price drops to give them an advantage, I might look again.

Amazing sound, long life strings.
Got an acoustic guitar, then you cannot do better than treating yourself and putting on a set of strings that stay new for longer than any other set. Superb strings that sound wonderful.
