D'addario J460x series strings
Review by ALAN S. on 13 Jul 2023 review stating D'addario J460x series strings Some years ago, I experimented with various strings, and this series worked best for me. They're on the high-tension side, the sound and playability of which I like. I've been satisfied with them ever since, but it's not like a made a truly scientific study. The shoe fit, so I wear it.
I replace the wound strings more often than 1-3. The high strings don't fray or get scratchy very fast, but anybody's wound strings typically lose their brilliance after a couple of weeks.
