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; .054Reviews
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.
Not Worth The BuyI bought these strings last week and have already broken string, and other strings show signs of fraying only one week in.
