Optima 24K Gold Plated Acoustic Guitar Strings 10-47

If you can’t stand the feeling of coated strings, but want something softer on tour fingertips then give these a try. The 10s feel great on my acoustasonic tele. They last a long time too. I’ve had the same set of optima strings on my D’angelico for 14 months now.

I've had $25 strings last me over 200 hours of playtime. The Spectrums by Thomastik Infeld lasted 300 hours of playing.

I haven't kept track of the hours on this set because I haven't really been playing acoustic guitar lately.
I put them on June 27th and casually play my acoustic once in a while. nothing serious. Im taking them off on August 14th because they sound way too dull.

When I first got them, they were the most brilliant sounding strings I've ever tried. They sounded so shimmery and bright. but that did not last long at all.

Oh well... onto the next set :)

Perfect

These strings are amazing quality. The tone is beautiful and they are very durable. I highly recommend these to all guitar players.

Not only did the strings arrive on time, the customer service experience was absolutely outstanding. I definitely recommend Strings By Mail. These are Gold strings, more expensive than others, sure, that last set I bought didn't go flat after a month, in fact they lasted 5 years until one finally broke. Gold just lasts. There is not worn out feel or deadness.
