Review: These strings saved me from buying new guitar! - I am thoroughly pleased with these guitar strings. they’re probably twice as much as average strings, but they’re worth every penny. Plus I really believe they save me from buying another guitar. Because my old guitar sounds incredible now. But more than sounds incredible. It’s so much easier to play. We’re talking an acoustic guitar that plays about as easy as an electric guitar now. Yes they’re expensive. But I understand they last much longer than regular strings. If you’re serious about Guitar playing go ahead and invest the money. You will not regret it. I recommend you buy a three pack. You can economize a little bit that way

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I buy the 11/52’s in bulk box 25**
A: no

**Q: Please can you add the multipack options including the 25 pack option onto Amazon?**
A: no, this listing is for a single package of strings

**Q: Can these be used on a guitalele, and tuned to eadgbe?**
A: It generally is not a good idea to put acoustic (steel) guitar strings on a guitalele, as most ukuleles are built to take either nylon or flourocarbon strings. The tension needed to tune the steel strings to the correct notes EADGBe can rip the bridge off of the instrument. If you're looking to turn your guitalele into a travel guitar, it would be better to at least use nylon strings. D'addario does make a coated classical guitar string set.

**Q: Hard playing of mediums phospher/bronze.I get three days (9-10 hours) and lose tuneabilty.Rust is not an issue.Help?**
A: I have never had that problem. If you play that hard check your tuners for tightness. These string
