I started out with Martin Marquis in the 60's. I've been through them all, but never tried these DR's, I guess because no-one ever mentioned them. I saw them in music stores, but never thought to try them. I just did. And I have to say, that after putting them on my Martin 00-28, it never sounded like this. I know it's the strings because I've tried them all on this guitar. Most balanced sound, clearest highs and mids with a bass that is perfectly deep and robust. Just ordered a set for my GS mini. Couldn't be more pleased. I have a house concert this weekend and can't wait.

Delivery was 2 days late and wasn’t the same “2 extra strings” product as pictured in the add. Strings were the usual good quality.

I recently purchased these guitar strings for my Godin A6 Ultra guitar based on recommendations from various YouTube videos, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. It's been a few months since I started using them, and the experience has been nothing short of impressive.The first thing that caught my attention was the exceptional volume and brightness these strings offer. They have a lively, vibrant tone that really brings out the best in my guitar. But what truly sets them apart is their durability.I'm an avid performer, playing my guitar for around 3 hours, 3 to 4 times a week. With other strings, I've grown accustomed to changing them out every 2 months due to wear and tear from my frequent playing. However, with this set of strings, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they still looked and sounded fantastic even after 2 months of heavy use.In fact, I recently changed them out simply because I had a performance coming up and wanted that fresh string feel. Upon inspecting the strings, I realized that they could have easily lasted another month without compromising their quality. It's truly remarkable to find strings that hold up so well under such intense playing conditions.I've never encountered strings that maintain their integrity and playability for this long. These strings have not only exceeded my expectations but have also become my go-to choice for their remarkable durability, tone, and performance. If you're a dedicated player looking for strings that can keep up with your demanding playing schedule, I highly recommend giving these a try. You won't be disappointed!Pros:Impressive volume and brightnessExceptional durabilityMaintained excellent condition even after heavy useCons:None that I've discovered so farIn summary, these strings are a game-changer for any guitarist seeking a perfect blend of tone and longevity. They've certainly earned a permanent spot on my instrument.Regenerate

J'utilise déjà ces cordes sur ma guitare folk. J'apprécie particulièrement leur longévité, le son brillant avec un sustain plus important que la moyenne. Les 11-50 constituent un bon équilibre pour la puissance sans avoir un jeu trop dur comme des 12 ou 13 pour les doigts.

Someone on Youtube had recommended these particular strings for the emerging "Acoustic/Electric " guitars. I have completely changed my "herd" of guitars to the Canadian 'Godin' guitars. My particular focus for these strings is my Godin A6,. I am currently recording original music as a "Legacy" series. Songs which I have played throughout my lifetime so lets say I know them very well. The Veritas DR have achieved for me exactly what they said they would do on the package. 'Loud", "Bright", Accurate. Two thumbs up Baby!!

These strings sound AWESOME when new, and have very little finger squeak. Very bright with lots of harmonics.Easy to bend.However, within a week or so, the harmonics seem to fade away, leaving more-or-less normal sounding strings. (I do not have "acid fingers", so I'm not sure why the quick loss of tone with these.) Still smooth with high-end present, but muted and no "chimes" like when new.

Very happy Amazon now sell them. The strings have a clear mellow tone that I prefer. I have been using these strings for a long time but strings are a personal preference choice. These strings aren't coated but processed in a way to extend their life and I think it works reasonably well. Check their website for details. They probably can't compare with the life of Elixir strings but I tried those a long time ago and never used them again as I think the coating deadens the tone. If you don't like coated strings and don't want to change strings every month, give them a try.

Put these on an all mahogany Epi from the 60's. Good sounding strings; a little more distinct than the DR Rare equivalent. Base sounds warm while the top remains clear. I wait with interest to see how they perform in a couple of weeks.
