DR Strings RPM-12 Rare Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - .012 - .054 Light

Would absolutely buy again if I ever needed more strings. Bright but warm tone. Massive difference over stock strings. My friend enjoyed them and couldn't stop playing for hours just listening to how different every song sounded compared to the last ones. Worth it.

I've been stringing all my guitars with DR strings since I was a teenager. They're well made in the USA, they sound great, they're very affordable, have a very short settle-in time, and they last forever. I rarely ever break a DR string. They go dull well before a string breaks. These are very bright, boomy strings right out of the gate but after a day or two, they settle in and mellow out a bit, remaining bright but not too bright. The break-in time is also another notable thing with these. Once they're on and tuned to pitch, that's where they stay as long as you have good tuners. I remember tuning other strings and starting to play and having to stop a couple minutes in to re-tune a few times that day because they slipped out from stretching. Not these. These stay right where you set them the first time. I love DR strings. They're very underrated. Give them a try.

For my first time changing my strings since I've had this guitar, I'm pretty impressed. These strings are seriously rich and loud. My gosh, what a difference. I usually play during my lunch break and I try to play quietly because my boyfriend is doing schoolwork in the other room - and let me tell you, I'm having a hard time playing quietly with these. The sound is amplified and every note is so full and beautiful. I feel like I'm playing a harp. They're not too bad on my fingers, either. I'm a relative beginner and had a hard time with new strings in the past, but these haven't really cut my fingers at all. I don't dread playing anymore for that reason. These were such a good purchase! I think these are my go-to strings now. They came in very clearly marked packages and changing them out was a breeze. Absolutely no complaints!

What sounds and feels good to me may not be right for you, but I will definitely be buying these again. I don’t know about them being any louder, but they sound good. I put these on a 12 year old Martin D-1 GT and am quite pleased. I normally use Martin or D’Addario light gauge phosphor bronze and I typically change my strings after +/- 25 hours of play. I doubt these strings will change that, however, these strings stay in tune far and away better than anything I’ve ever used.

Order as described

Put a new set of strings on my Seagull S6 and the guitar came to live! Warm, smooth sound. Don't know yet how the sound will last but hey...

I just. put a set of DR Rare lights on my 12 fret Breedlove Concertina. I love the tone, feel and balance of them. I don't know how long they will last, but, if they have a decently long life, I will definitely be using the at my next string change.

I'll tell ya... I had my acoustic worked on and it came back with bright strings.. Not the warmth I wanted.. Researching online, these say "more mellow", and they do seem less bright... And they stretched in, in about one day. I'm not sure how long they last yet.. But two weeks in, they are holding up... They do look worn, but I'm not easy in strings. They take a beating. I'm happy so far. We'll see how they progress in a month.

DR strings feel great. They are easy to play especially for finger picking and bending. They stay in tune and sound rich.

Guter Sound, sehr gut bespielbar.

Great strings. They have a heap of body and don’t have the thin jangle so many other strings have.

Tutto ok

Les meilleures cordes pour moi sur mon OM Eastman. Au début pas le meilleur mais au bout de quelques heures de jeu et de jours , j’adore le son , c’est beau et équilibré.
