Make my DX-1 sound even better.

Clapton comes across as a bit of a **** nowadays, but these strings are superb.

Best strings for all sort of playing.

Not what I expected...

Young-Bin 04.02.2016

I was a little bit disappointed at these strings.
As a big fan of Eric Clapton, I wanted to try these and had high hopes.
Unfortunetly due to such high hopes, my disappointment was just as great.

The tone and feel is just...average...
Not to mention that the tone doesn't last much long either.

I will always stick with Elixirs for acoustic guitars!
(although it costs 3 times as much)

Speaking of costs...I'd say the price is quite good for a signature series strings.

Basically everything about these strings are just average, like any 5-8 euro pack of strings.
These are just my personal opinions though.
Best to try it yourself to see how it is.

Loads of character

Sure, why not 09.04.2024

With a properly set up guitar, and after a few days of playing, these really take off. Great harmonics, sweet tones on the trebble, strumming is not overly bright (on a mahogany dreadnought with maple top), great for slide guitar, since they have pretty good tension on them, great allrounder. They are really grippy though. You can hold a rhythm just by switching bar chords, so take note.
