D'Addario Nickel Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings NB1252BT, 12-52

I've used these and others on many guitars, and I keep going back to them. I've yet to find a guitar where these don't sound just right. Refined, smooth and clear. Last a long time. I like balanced tension lights, easy to play and so well balanced in range and character from string to string. The top end is as sweet and clear as any I've heard, with a bloat free lower range. Try 'em!

These are excellent strings. So far they are like butter to play down the fretboard. They sound bright and lively. They are not very expensive and easy to play. As far as durability and longevity, I will have to see how they do. They sound great on my Martin.

I purchased a set of the Nickel Bronze Balanced Tension sets for my Eastman acoustic. These are interesting strings. First, it’s got that instant vintage, warm, broken in tone of nickel bronze strings, which I really like. The balanced tension is just that— the strings all have the same tension, which on my 24.9” scale guitar lends itself to a softer feel and tone than I am used too— not necessarily a bad thing. It does have a very even feel when playing fingerstyle or flat picking that I like. I’m just not sure I would buy these strings again, but I don’t change strings very often, so they will get well used. By comparison, I have used Martin Retro monel strings and those are fantastic; the D’Addarios are a B+. But if you’re looking for a mellow tone and a softer string feel under tension, these may be right for you.

I've tried dozens of different strings on my guitar journey and these remain my favorite for my playstyle- fingerstyle acoustic with nails. They are indeed unique. They resonate more than any other acoustic string I've tried. Tone is more variable than phosphor or 80/20 and depends more on the guitar itself and how you sound the strings themselves (sound great with a pick too!). I typically get about 1-2mos out of them in humid climate.

Good strings just a little too much mid and high end for my taste. Not the best fit for my Martin D28

The playability of these strings are excellent and put out a real nice acoustic sound paired with my Takamine. I've noticed the hard chord changes becoming easier because (I'm guessing) of the "balanced tension". I went back to D'Addario for my electric and acoustic because the longevity and sound quality.

The soun$ they produce is well balanced and smooth. Not too bright but clearer than coated strings.

My first nickle bronze strings. They are good for finger picking, sound is vibrant and sustained. I use it on a parlour guitar. Im used to classical guitar with nylon string so this type of strings respond better for finger picking and sound is more pleasant than typical bronze strings.

Le uso per la mia acustica, mai avuto un suono così pulito, le consiglio a tutti!

Good quality but my b and e string started rusting.

The strings are beautifully balanced, with a mild metallic sound. Perfect for a light tension guitar with a high quality sound.

Beautiful nickel colour. Easy to install. Great sound. Recommended to me by our guitar teacher.
