Product Description

"The GoldPhos are beautiful-sounding, with a warm and evenly nice rounded tonal projection with a very full-on sound. These work particularly well in my studio settings, as there is not much EQ to add or take away due to the character-landscape type of sound that they offer. They have a very balanced and even feel about them. Again... with total voicing separation, and their quality of sound is total Inspiration..!!" - Amrit Sond , U.K.  Gauges: .012; .016; .025; .032; .042; .054

Reviews

5.0 Decent Enough for the Money...
I find these to be about as good as Elixir, but it's been awhile since I had those on my guitar. These have lasted me well. I'm a string scrooge, and rarely change them until they desparately need them. I don't play heavy or every day and these have lasted about 4-6 months... even now there's only a little wear on them, but the tone has dampened a bit. They are really bright, but not as 'tinny' as Martin's which I dislike. I will definitely buy these again, but might try the GoldBronze version to see what the difference is.
1.0 Not Worth The Buy
I bought these strings last week and have already broken string, and other strings show signs of fraying only one week in.
