## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these round core, hex core, or something else?**
A: These are Round Core, and unfortunately I didn't discover that until I'd pre-cut my strings. Nowhere on the package does it say they are Round Core. It turns out you have to actually tear the box open to find that out—when was the last time you did this. Now I have a dead set of strings.

**Q: Regarding tone/overtones, how do these compare to martin sp LS & elixir phosphor bronze? Veritas have a higher nickel % = +bass/life/-treble. ?**
A: I'm not familiar with martin strings but I have used elixir and like the elixirs and Dr veritas strings and I personally like the tone in both but prefer non-coated strings so I have switched to Dr for that reason.

**Q: How do these compare to the same gauge in exlixir and martin sp lifespan phosphor bronze?**
A: DR Veritas strings are not coated, hence play just like normal string feel with normal tension. Elixir strings sound OK and last longer but are harder on your fingers; also harder to bend. Martin SP has a fuller sound than all of the coated strings but they don't seem to last as long as Elixirs or D'Addarios.Overall, among the three I place Martin first, Elixir second, and then DR strings.

    Long Lasting
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2023*

I recently purchased these guitar strings for my Godin A6 Ultra guitar based on recommendations from various YouTube videos, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. It's been a few months since I started using them, and the experience has been nothing short of impressive.The first thing that caught my attention was the exceptional volume and brightness these strings offer. They have a lively, vibrant tone that really brings out the best in my guitar. But what truly sets them apart is their durability.I'm an avid performer, playing my guitar for around 3 hours, 3 to 4 times a week. With other strings, I've grown accustomed to changing them out every 2 months due to wear and tear from my frequent playing. However, with this set of strings, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they still looked and sounded fantastic even after 2 months of heavy use.In fact, I recently changed them out simply because I had a performance coming up and wanted that fresh string feel. Upon inspecting the strings, I realized that they could have easily lasted another month without compromising their quality. It's truly remarkable to find strings that hold up so well under such intense playing conditions.I've never encountered strings that maintain their integrity and playability for this long. These strings have not only exceeded my expectations but have also become my go-to choice for their remarkable durability, tone, and performance. If you're a dedicated player looking for strings that can keep up with your demanding playing schedule, I highly recommend giving these a try. You won't be disappointed!Pros:Impressive volume and brightnessExceptional durabilityMaintained excellent condition even after heavy useCons:None that I've discovered so farIn summary, these strings are a game-changer for any guitarist seeking a perfect blend of tone and longevity. They've certainly earned a permanent spot on my instrument.Regenerate

    Recording quality strings that resonate with authority.
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020*

Someone on Youtube had recommended these particular strings for the emerging "Acoustic/Electric " guitars. I have completely changed my "herd" of guitars to the Canadian 'Godin' guitars. My particular focus for these strings is my Godin A6,. I am currently recording original music as a "Legacy" series. Songs which I have played throughout my lifetime so lets say I know them very well.  The Veritas DR have achieved for me exactly what they said they would do on the package. 'Loud", "Bright", Accurate. Two thumbs up Baby!!

    Clear long lasting tone.
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2017*

Very happy Amazon now sell them. The strings have a clear mellow tone that I prefer. I have been using these strings for a long time but strings are a personal preference choice. These strings aren't coated but processed in a way to extend their life and I think it works reasonably well. Check their website for details. They probably can't compare with the life of Elixir strings but I tried those a long time ago and never used them again as I think the coating deadens the tone. If you don't like coated strings and don't want to change strings every month, give them a try.
