Review: I really noticed these strings - I'd say that iit is definitely worth trying different strings, at least occasionally, rather than simple sticking to a particular set that one finds ticks all the boxes - the right sound for you, the right feel, longevity, and any other criteria that one might have. Over many years, I've probably strung guitars with Ernie Ball more than any other strings. I've tried others, some which have been expensive but not necessarily ones that I've been impressed with, and others including some modestly priced ones that I've been very impressed with - "Marshal Bronze Alloy" at under four quid were very good. Don't know who actually makes them but they were a great find and I bought a few sets of them. Never though, have I "noticed" a set of strings as much as I did when I first put on Ernie Ball's Aluminium strings. There was a richness of sound, an incredible sustain, and they lasted a good deal longer than my usual bronze strings. If it's that case that one has to find the right set of strings for the right guitar for the ears that are listening to what their owner is playing then not all strings are going to suit all guitarists and even more so the more aware and experienced a guitarist becomes, but I couln't recommend giving these strings a play highly enough. After the strings started to "go" (which was after some considerable time and after some considerable extra playing, such was the joy of these strings) I put on soem familiar bronze strings (Dean Markley Vintage Bronze) which were the same guage - 12-54 (the G string was a 24 in the Aluminium and a 25 in the Bronze but otherwise exactly the same guage) and something was lacking. The Dean Markley's which I'd normally consider to be good strings just didn't sound as good and I'm guessing that the same would have been the case if I'd put on a regular set of Ernie Ball Bronze strings. Anyway, I would say that basically the bottom line is that these Aluminium strings are definitly worth stringing your guitar with. For reference I had put them on a solid Spruce topped German guitar - a VGS Root 10.
Review: Excellent in every way. - As I've always used Ernie Ball on most of my electrics, I thought it made sense to try these out on my new Lowden F35 - what a revelation. This guitar is already a very tactile instrument, but fitting these strings has taken it to a new level. Better, more comfortable feel, really nice to play and a balanced tone leaning towards the 'warm' way of things. I play finger style, spanning folk, 'ballady' stuff, all the way to jazz. I've ordered a set for my Martin 00028. The Lowden seems to be a bit fussy about strings, but it really likes these. And if it's happy, so am I.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these strings bend at all?**
A: Acoustic stings not designed for bending. This gauge will break often, have plenty of spares. Can use electric top strings. I don't bend on an acoustic, well very limited anyway. You will probably get rattles with this light gauge may need to raise action. If you play lightly like on an electric you may get away with it. Best acoustic sounding that last a very long time and stay in tune are 12s. Put them on all my steel acoustics. Try them anyway, they sound great .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good bass and overall volume, scratchier and noisier than Earthwood
*by M***L on 22 December 2025*

Bought these on the recommendation of a friend for an L-00 size parlor guitar, which I thought needed more punch. Heedful of other comments, I tuned up very carefully, and so far nothing has snapped. Very pleased with the initial sound, especially the two bass strings, although all new strings sound good. Drawbacks there are aplenty -- strings are dull to look at and leave black on fingertips, top two (unwound) strings seem to be from a different, generic set, and all six feel scratchy on the frets (especially bending) and sound noisy when sliding. Overall impression is positive, but I don't think these are much better than EB's Earthwood strings.
