proper product quick shipping

Reliable, durable, affordable, consistent.

I fell for the celebrity's choice: Kenny Smith uses these strings on his new Collings guitar. He is right! They bring out both the warmth and woodiness that I prefer, plus strong projection. About 20 years ago, my favorite dreadnought strings were the nickel-plated Tony Rice D'Aquisto strings (the company long-since gone). Today, these D'Addario EJ22s are the closest replacement that I've found--even though they're labeled "jazz. " If you like warm, woody, and projecting, give these a try. Strings By Mail has good pricing and prompt shipping.

These sound fantastic on my archtop and have very even string-to-string balance with the Kent Armstrong floating humbucking pickup.

A very nice set of round-wounds with the gauges that I prefer for each string. Long-lasting and bright with only a touch of intonation issues between the plain and wound strings, i.e. - 1st and 3rd / 2nd and 4th octaves.
