  • Hannabach Silver 200 Set 900 MHT Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set

    Hannabach Silver 200 Set 900 MHT Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set

    By: Brad DeRoche
    Powerful, long-lasting strings. Trebles are very full, somewhat thick sounding, but work well for instruments that require a strong fundamental in the trebles. Basses last a particularly long time and have good overtones, a strong fundamental, and are quite powerful. Overall, a powerful, somewhat dark sound with a lots of fundamental, good overtones, and good balance between bass and treble. Very expensive - that's the only downside.

    I put these strings on my flamenco guitar. Beautiful sound, very flamenco. 100% recommended. Buy more if it were not so expensive!
  • Oasis QuadRest Guitar Support with carry case OH-25

    Oasis QuadRest Guitar Support with carry case OH-25

    By: José Augusto Meirelles
    I used to a gitano support and I like this Oasis very much. If was made in metal, like gitano's, would be perfect. The lever is a nice touch to make the suction cup firmly attached, but I get an impression it could break with time.
  • EFEL guitar support, basic

    By: mark snelgrove
    Wow! What a nice support. Immediately played more comfortably with both feet on the floor and my torso aligned properly. Highly recommended. Also purchased the Gitano for it's portability (it folds flat and takes up little room in the case). Also would highly recommend that one as well. I may even buy multiples of each as I have several guitars usually in different tunings and I may slap one on each!

  • A-Frame-MI Multi-Instrument Adjustable Support

    A-Frame-MI Multi-Instrument Adjustable Support

    By: Kam Bhagia
    I have every support available, and this has become my favorite. If your guitar has a raised fretboard, like mine does, there's not enough wood on the shoulder of the instrument for two suction cups and you don't get the needed stability. This model solves that by moving the suction cups to the back and stays very securely in place. Also because you have more surface area on the back of the guitar, the variations in position are nearly infinite. Highly recommended.

    By: Neil Alleyn
    Used 'Elixir' for 8 years then a luthier suggested the 'JP silks' for a more mellow/less bright tone. Would not use any other strings on my 'Taylor' acoustic guitars.

    By: Norman Spencer
    This is a very pleasant guitar to play and to listen to. i would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone with small hands. The service from Strings by Mail staff was absolutely the best I have experienced, whether online or in a shop; it's what keeps me coming back for more.
  • Rosette Bridge Bone Beads, Black

    Rosette Bridge Bone Beads, Black

    By: Russ Klenk
    Poor excuse for garbage.

    They raise the action, snap strings, and look cheap. You could try them but you will render one set of strings useless because you won't be able to tie them around your bridge.
    After you pay the return postage and buy a new set of strings, you will be out a few hours of time and short a couple of dollars.

  • Martin MA180S Marquis 80/20 Bronze 12 String Acoustic Guitar ExLt 10-47

    Martin MA180S Marquis 80/20 Bronze 12 String Acoustic Guitar ExLt 10-47

    By: Robert McArthur
    These strings are great. They provide a less jangly, solid tone and they stay In tune from the outset. I have put on my guitar all of the following 12 strings sets and the Martin marquis are far and away the best sounding and the best for staying in tune: Cleartone (worst by far), John Pearse, GHS, LaBella, and D'AddarioEXP (a good close second place). I play a Gibson 185 12 and have come to appreciate Martin Marquis 80/20 for their ability to let the tone of the guitar shine though without the metallic jangling common to the other sets. They also are gauged optimally for standard tuning. The best aspect is they hold their tuning. And they also have the wire near the ball end wrapped with silk thread which cuts down on groove wear In the bridge pin slot as well as mitigates harsh overtones. You can't go wrong with these if you want a complex sounding 12 string rather than a metallic jangly guitar.
  • Cleartone Treated Acoustic 12 STRING Guitar Strings Ultra Light 10-47

    Cleartone Treated Acoustic 12 STRING Guitar Strings Ultra Light 10-47

    By: Robert McArthur
    Put these on my Gibson 12 which usually has no problem staying in tune. Even after 10 days these clear tones are still always getting out of tune. They lose the tuning so fast, I can not complete a song. I know I have strung them correctly, so it is Definately the strings. Back to D'Addario Exp . No problems ever with those.

    Snark S1 Son of Snark MINI Clip-On Guitar and Bass Tuner

    By: George Mesheau
    Just bought one of these little fellows "The Snark S1 Tuner" from you and LOVE it.. It is small and can be basically be placed out of site on your headstock to others, and still be accessible and very visible to the player. It is very accurate and easy to read and make adjustments as needed.. Overall I am most pleased with this tuner and highly recommend it.. George M..
  • D'Addario EJ49 NT (black trebles) Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set

    D'Addario EJ49 NT (black trebles) Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set

    By: Dion Thornton
    It took thirteen days for these string to arrive here in Brisbane,Queensland, Australia. the shipping was a lot faster and cheaper than some of the other international sites that ship here. these strings deliver warm, smooth tones with less croaky noise when moving between chords. these strings are light on the fingers and make the perfect set of strings for the advanced-beginner such as myself. I would recommend them however they stretch considerable when first assembled, not really a downside but it was annoying having to retune it everyday for the first two weeks.
  • Gitano Guitar Support

    Gitano Guitar Support

    By: CHRISTOPHER DECASTRO
    Folds down and fits right into the case. I have had mine attached to my guitar for over two years. I really like the convenience of it. No carrying around a foot stool or other equipment while keeping your back straight and both feet on the ground.

    The only complaint that I have is the strap is held on by a cheap piece of tape which could very easily be ripped off if you aren't careful with it. I wish they would find another way. But, mine is still going strong and I'm glad I bought it. I've also heard that certain finishes of guitars can't handle suction cups. Make sure yours isn't one of them.
  • Murata GR-2B, Guitar Rest Support with adjustable feet, Black

    Murata GR-2B, Guitar Rest Support with adjustable feet, Black

    By: Simon Gauvin
    I am using this for a couple of years now and it is really the best of all. I have purchased all guitar support I can find on Internet (because there is none in store where I live) and I have to say that this is the only one that do what it is supposed to do. It fit in may case easily and I can adjust it as I want. I prefer the grip at the guitar because the suction cup on other models just get off the guitar after long playing. It happened to me on concert in middle of long piece of classical music. This is not what you want! But the Murata just stay where it is. The only negativ point is that the Murata don't prevent slippery as it pretend to. I need another clothe between my leg and the Murata to be sure that it don't slip off my leg. But this is still the best and I recommend it!

    Hense 500 Series MT Nylon Classical Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set

    By: Jean-Claude Gourevitch
    Pleasant strings. on my guitar (spruce) they give a clear, nice, ringing, potent sound. Tension on the hard edge, but comfortable.Depends of the guitar.
    Might be more expressive, perhaps.
  • La Bella Argento SH Sterling HT Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set

    La Bella Argento SH Sterling HT Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set

    By: Jean-Claude Gourevitch
    Good strings . But something strange about tensions, about which i wrote to LaBella's.
    I think there are mistakes concerning the tension values of aSH Argento Extra Fine Silver Plating – Hard Tension. and also in all sites that ares repeating this information, strings by mail etc, or it is not a mistake?FOR INSTANCE i saw that the information printed on the back of the package of SH ARGENTO EXTRA FINE Silver Plating – HARD Tension are very very different of those indicated in this site and sites of LA BELLA. ex: on the box ,the E 1st is 16.1 lbs, B2nd is 12.98lbs etc instead of 14.9 and 11.8 etc ...What is the precise exact value? it is important because i have a 664 scale, and also i noticed that the E 1st of 2001 MH sounded better and more cristaline.
    On the other hand, the G in Nylon 2002, is very good!

  • Rokkomann Case Porter Backpack Attachment

    Rokkomann Case Porter Backpack Attachment

    By: Doan Nguyen Tri
    I bought this item and some sets of classical guitar strings. The communication and shipment were really good. Items were delivered as scheduled. I was a little bit disappointed with this case porter, because I thought it should have had 2 adjustment locks on both sides at the lower horizontal belt, while it actually has just 1 lock on 1 side. Therefore it can't fit my Hiscox Pro 2 case. I had to get the belt cut and attach additional lock, and now it fits my case really well. I think the manufacturer should re-design and add 2 locks at both sides of the belt for different sizes of guitar cases.
