Useful option.

I got these to work up some new material without wearing my fingertips out too fast...normally use standard Martin 10's.
They really do feel "softer'(even more so than the Fender pure nickle '9's I use on electric)and have clearly been very well designed giving decent sound for such an ultra light acoustic gauge so great for long practice times.
They do take a bit of getting used to as they can bend out of tune easily if fretted any way hard.
The only serious con is that my two acoustics which normally sound very distinctive (an early '70's J45 and an 80's D25) lose some of their character and take on some of the generic,balanced but bland sound I associate with newer guitars from Taylor etc.
I don't think I'd use them long term but a very useful tool when needed.

Good for bending

Drummer- 16.08.2021

They do not break quickly. If you want to try doing big bends on guitar these are the strings for you.
Because the strings are so thin, the sound of the guitar is different as there is less mass moving but it is mostly a matter of preference.

Bought this set of strings for my Harley Benton acoustic. I have been an Elixir user for a long time and I thought I'd give this a try since It is for my cheap acoustic. The original strings from the guitar sound thin but when I placed these strings on the guitar it absolutely changes its tone.
Every chord is singing and single notes are defined.

Since strings are meant to break I don't expect this to last a lifetime but I'm happy with the tone I get from these strings.

Good choice

Old school RNR 21.03.2024

Daddario 0.09 strings for acoustic guitar are very nice to play and have excellent sound. Only thing that have some room for improvement is durability. On the other hand it just may be my style of playing that influence durability.
