## Description

Product Description JP Guitar Set, phos. S. Light - Super-Light gauge string set from the legendary Breezy Ridge companyMade by John Pearse Strings - Bluegrass inspired USA string range from well known guitarist John Pearse Box Contains 1x JP Guitar Set, phos. S. Light

Review: Great strings so far - These are the best I have come across so far. I think that different strings sound very different on different guitars so you will need to try them but I have them on a quality solid mahogany dreadnought and they are just right. Cannot comment yet on how long they will last but so far so good.
Review: Best fingerpicking strings for my concert size guitar - When I got my new Yamaha LS16 it failed to deliver on the promised projection and responsiveness. I restrung it with D'Addario EXP light guage, which I understand Yamaha put on at the factory, but got the same underwhelming sound. I thought it might be down to the guitar being new, a smaller concert size, made in China, etc. and began regretting my purchase. I then tried Elixir Nanowebs as these seem a popular choice but found a similar response. Definitely, not worth the extra money they ask. Finally, I tried the John Pearse 550SL which are a gauge between light and extra light strings. These made the guitar ring and come alive. They are a bit 'bright' initially but settle down quickly and continue to sound good for two months playing about a hour a day (provided you wipe the strings after use).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does it take to ship?**
A: We have them in stock so they will go out quickly. As far as how long it will take for them to arrive at your location I cannot say. We ae located in Illinois.

**Q: are these similar to thomastik infeld plectrum?**
A: I've never used Plectrum strings.  I usually use light gauge (12-53) strings but bought these when I wanted to try something iighter (11-50).  I then went back to D'Addario light.  But, I totally agree with the reviewer who says that strings are a very subjective and personal choice for guitarists.  If I were you I'd buy a set of each and give them a try.  Strings are by far the cheapest part of playing guitar.  Good luck!

**Q: What gauges are the slightly light strings?**
A: 11-50…great strings, sounds so good.  The only thing I had some reservation about these is the noise it makes while you are moving your fingers along the frets…a bit too much for me.

**Q: Why are these double the price of the regular light version?**
A: No Idea. I do like them enormously, and you can find them more normally priced elsewhere; you'll have to order a bunch to get free shipping, though.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings so far

These are the best I have come across so far. I think that different strings sound very different on different guitars so you will need to try them but I have them on a quality solid mahogany dreadnought and they are just right. Cannot comment yet on how long they will last but so far so good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best fingerpicking strings for my concert size guitar

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by H***R on 11 March 2012*

As a youngster these were the only strings I used. Picking my guitar back up after a 25 year break I thought these strings were no longer made; what a pleasant surprise to find that they are not just there, but the quality remains very high. Ideal for fingerpicking.
