Question Posted Saturday October 15 2005, 12:14 pm
Has anybody on here had any experince with Everly guitar stings? (Specifically Acoustic phosphor bronze ------ .012 -.053) Are these strings durable? Have a nice tone quality? Overall? I'd like to have some opinions on these strings.

I actually just talked to 3 different guitarists I know... and not a single one of them have used Everly strings. Perhaps they just don't want to sound like the Everly Brothers... ;)
Think of it this way - guitar strings get replaced rather often... so if they are reasonably priced, why not buy a set and give them a shot. If you think they suck, you won't ever have to buy their strings again... if you love them, you just became a new customer.
Personally, I'm a D'Addario guy (though I still miss my Darco's on bass - I should have bought 100 sets back when they were still made). [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]

I play with Mercurys myself.
Good luck. [ despite_the_radio's advice column | Ask despite_the_radio A Question ]

The reason is, such thin amounts of bronze tend to oxidize very fast and that pretty much kills the tone, but if you like bronze strings, I see no reason not to try this brand. You'll only be out $3-$4 and they could be exactly what you want.
