Very Happy with these strings, I found them a lot easier to play. They also sound great.
I always buy from the acoustic centre. Their postage is super fast and their communication is always good.
Bought 3 sets of these on a gamble and put a set on a Yamaha FG5 and have been amazed by how good these strings are and my next move is to see how they fair on a Guild D50 Don’t really do reviews but these strings are worthy and deserve the effort
I've bought lots of guitar strings from the Acoustic Centre. The range is great and the staff are are always helpful with information related to string performance and structure. I'm very satisfied.
Love these strings and I always buy them from the Acoustic Centre. Best service and great people
The sixth string has less tension than what I usually play,lead the action lower then normal and caused unexpected buzzing noise while playing the fretted notes, which also shorter the sustain. Since the string energy as been wasted somehow, but the tone with other strings is fantastic. And I also step up a whole tone to make sure the tension works as normal to reduce the buzzing noise on the sixth string. So for those who willing to try, if you use light tension before, this might works fine, but if you were using mid tension, maybe try mid tension for this one to avoid the problem I have.
Only use Santa Cruz parabolic strings on my Santa Cruz H model. They just seem to be the perfect string for that guitar.
I use these on my Maton custom shops , One is a WA MAy the other a CS custom Brilliant strings with quite a good life span i get about 6 weeks maybe 8 out of them , i wipe with finger ease spray after use cleans them up and extends the life . Always top service at the Acoustic Centre
Very happy. Easy, prompt.
These are spares for strings I use- brilliant strings
Its a great sounded string for strumming!! The tension is a bit too tight for my liking because I am playing mostly finger picking
Put these on my Martin 000-28 they are superb best strings I've had in it I also use straight up strings mediums which are very very similar
They settle in quickly and are great to play
No complaints, fast service, good product.
So far so good. I do like them a lot, just need a bit more time to test their longevity. Never thought I would move away from Elixir Phos/Bronze nano, but the Santa Cruz parabolic strings just might do it.
Firstly, prompt delivery and service, as usual from the Acoustic Centre. Great store to deal with. The strings though are a massive disappointment. I strung my Martin OM-42 with light tension and Maton 808TE with mid tension SC strings. They both sound "dead" - really attenuated overtones and poor string balance. I get the tension idea, but the light set just felt wrong - the treble E felt way tighter than either the B or (especially) G. Maybe these sound great on SC guitars (I would try that :) ) but not for me. Previously trialled on a Taylor 614CE as well.
