Newtone Heritage NHS-012 Low Tension Acoustic Guitar Strings 12-51

good tone with a soft touch and low tension that suited an old lightly built instrument

Out of 5 sets 3 have been crappy. Latest batch had a dead 3rd string. I don’t want my. Obey back nor do I want a string. I’m done!

Amazing

Love the low tension feeling. To me they feel about like tuning down a half step. Maybe not quite that loose but close. Not just easier on my older hands and fingers, but just as important, easier on an older guitar I want to baby. Even though they are lower tension, the sound is still very good, with characteristics of other round-wound phosphor bronze such as DR Sunbeams. I don't feel like the sound of the Heritage strings are a compromise, although the life may be less than other strings I play. I just have another set on hand, ready to go, when I feel like the set I'm playing is starting to lose some zing.

Hands down (pun intended) the finest strings for my Guild acoustic! Unbelievable playability and great tone!
