D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Phosphor Bronze Environmental Bluegrass, .012 - .056, EJ19star rating 5LarryMay 27, 2011I use these on my Gibson J-200 and they are a perfect match. This guitar sounds big and loud anyway, but the D'Addario ej19's really bring the guitar into focus-just the right balance between bright and a solid bottom end.

D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Phosphor Bronze Environmental Bluegrass, .012 - .056, EJ19star rating 5DCFebruary 23, 2011I play guitar in an Irish Celtic band using DADGAD tuning and recently bought a new Martin D-41. As always with a new guitar, I try various strings to find the best fit for tone, playability, and longevity. So far, I've tried Martin SP Phosphor Bronze Lights, Mediums and Light-Mediums, Martin FX Phosphor Bronze Light-Mediums, Martin 80/20 Bronze SP Mediums and Curt Mangan PB Mediums. I definitely prefer the Light-Mediums over Light or Medium, and really like the Martin SP Phosphor Bronze on this guitar. I use nothing but D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Lights on my 1972 Guild F-30R Paul Simon, so decided to try the D'Addario Bluegrass set on the new D-41 and they're great! To me, they're better than any other string I've tried on this guitar. Excellent balance, tone, and playability.

D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Phosphor Bronze Environmental Bluegrass, .012 - .056, EJ19star rating 5topcatnmFebruary 8, 2010The gauges of these strings mix medium basses with medium light trebles. This allows you to get the punch you need in the bass strings to keep the beat with a mandolin and fiddle and the lighter gauge trebles make it easier to execute hammer-ons, pull-offs and triplets when flat-picking. There is a trade-off with volume with the lighter strings which may be significant if you are not playing with a mic.
