D'Addario EJ30 Classic Rectified Nylon NT Guitar Strings, Full Set

For probably the fifth time, I've circled back to these strings after trying a bunch of others, always in search of 'warm' strings, because my nails and/or technique aren't the greatest at drawing out warm sounds, or maybe it's my on-the-bright-side spruce guitars (Kevin Aram, Peter Barton, and Ramirz 1a). I've decided (again) these are the best strings, all round, for me. The tension is just about right. They are warmer than J45s, which are, in my opinion, not warm. What brings me back is the excellent intonation. I also like the tactile feel of these milky strings. They feel great under your fingers. They're not the most excitingly colorful or punchy strings. "Neutral" is accurate, with the J30s adding a touch of warmth to the very neutral J45s. Experiments over now, I'm sticking with these J30s for good. (Until I get bored again).

I circle back to these rectified nylon D’Addarios when I want good intonation. That’s where these strings excel. I’m not a fan of the normal D’Addario nylons. They sound kind of plasticky. These are a little warmer but still not a ‘warm’ string. I’d say they sound elegantly bright. With a slight milky texture these strings feel good under fingers. I don’t like thin strings. These are about right.

These strings are my favorite strings for any guitar from any manufacturer. They feel good under the fingers and the tone is beautiful. I've used them long enough to expect the next set will sound exactly as before with no unpleasant tonal surprises. I won't use any other set on my Don Boarman guitar.

Always shipped quickly and accurately

I ordered two sets on a whim and will be playing EJ30s from now on. I play a Spruce/Brazilian '84 Michael Cone. Back in the 80s, Frets Magazine said Cone was making the finest intonated guitar they had ever reviewed. I've found mine the most sensitively responsive guitar I've every owned or played. That said, on such a guitar, these strings ring out like bells. The fundamental of each note is extremely clear and dominant. Rapid scale passages have note clarity
I never had with EJ45s, and complex compositions such as Bach can have remarkable voice separation. I'm guessing that with rectification there's less cancellation of the tonic due to random overtones. Yes. I like these strings.... a lot.
