"The brightest tone for the longest time of any other strings I've used."

"For almost as long as I've played guitar I have found D'Addario strings to be consistently good quality, whether I'm buying nylon classical (my first introduction to the brand), phosphor for my Ovation acoustic or electric strings."
"I've tried a number of different guitar strings for my electrics."
"For a lead player you can bend these off the fret board and they stay in tune, once broken and stretched."
