John Pearse 600L Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings

These play and sound great. Phosphor bronze gives nice mellow warm tone for acoustic. These 600L are string size 12-53. Feels like good classic old school folk/blues strings.

First time trying these, im sold!! Ive played acoustic for 60 years, tried many strings, usually earthwoods, daddario they Are nice. Recently got a custom 000-28 Martin that came with their coated lifespan strings. Same guage with these, what a sound!! just as described, each note clear but blend beautifully. Try them!!

These strings are a huge improvement for the sound of my guitar. They have a nice full bodied, warm tone. Would definitely recommend.

These are the best Phosphor Bronze strings I've tried, but... Ever wonder why your guitar never has the sweet woody sounds like the old recordings of Simon and Garfunkel, Jim Croce, James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, Arlo Guthrie, or the Grateful Dead? It's because NONE of those artists used phosphor bronze strings for their recordings (and definitely no coated strings either)! No, they used 80/20's to get their amazing sounds, and John Pearse makes the best 80/20 strings in the world! Bright and sparkling when first put on your guitar, and then within a week they mellow to warm and clear perfection. And then that sound lasts and last. Try the John Pearse 200L 80/20 strings. Give them 2 weeks and you'll be hooked on them for a lifetime!

I've had these strings on my guitar for a year and they haven't broken in spite of some heavy strumming. They give a rich, deep sound. Though take it with a grain of salt - my guitar body is mahogany and tends to give a heavy sonorous tone. The combo works for me well. Don't believe anyone that says their strings give a great sound - sound is combo of multiple factors (guitar wood, depth, tuning, amplifier, bridge type) and cannot be attributed to any set of strings alone. Having said that, these are good strings. The strings gauges, since the product summary does not provide them, are: E-6th = 0.053 W (thickest string) A-5th = 0.042 W D-4th = 0.032 W G-3rd = 0.024 W B-2nd = 0.016 P E-1st = 0.012 P (thinnest string) W = wound P = plain The downside (and some may not consider this a negative) is that these strings are not easy to bend. For consistent bends that take you two whole notes higher, you will have to go even lighter. I'm going to try a 0.010 gauge next.

John Pearse makes awesome strings. I was traveling and made a stop in an Idaho guitar shop to get some new strings for my guitar. At the time I was using other acoustic guitar strings made by a well known company. The guy in the guitar shop recommended John Pearse strings. Even though they were a bit more expensive than the other strings I was using, I bought them and I've been using them ever since. String type and string gauge is all a matter of personal opinion so I can't say what is best. I usually buy these because they're the cheapest and sound good to my ears. But with all the John Pearse strings I have tried, they all last a long time and sound better than any other strings made by some different company.

I have used these strings for many years and they are by far the absolute best sounding strings I have ever heard and the only strings I will use on an acoustic guitar. I am a professional guitarist as well.

After a lot of research I tried these JP 600L PB strings on my Gibson J15 replacing the Gibson strings that came on the guitar - which I didn't care for. Although a new guitar, possibly the Gibson strings were just old, but the sound improvement was immediate and amazing. They have very even tone, are much louder, and have great sustain. The J15 really came alive with these strings. I have also been a big fan of D'Adarrio PB strings (coated) on my Martin guitars, and these rank right up there. I think the JP strings are louder but have similar tonal qualities. I don't expect the JP strings to last as long as the coated strings but they are about 1/3 the price. I will definitely try them on my other guitars.
