Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (18 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Darco is D'Addario"
Sound: If you like D'Addario, these come from the same manufacturing plant which is owned by Martin. You may choose to be fooled by packaging and colored ball ends if you like. Value: The 12 set bulk price allows me to string my many guitars on a budget and these strings sound as good and last as long as any I've ever used. Overall: I've been using Darco strings ever since Martin bought out D'Addario because the strings are manufactured in the same plant and sell for much less. I don't need colored ball ends to know identify gauges.

"The best quality-(all things considered) strings I have ever used. "
Sound: I've been playing Guitar for over 35 years (I'm 50) & have stuck with primarily with 1 gauge (10-13-17-26-36-46) but recently after having my Nocaster refretted the luthier persuaded me to try Darco stepping up to (11-14-18-28-38-49) praising both the quality, durability, & cost (Case of 12 packs) which was only $25 !!! I tried them with low expectations & I have to admit I was shocked !!! Sonic properties or characteristics are often difficuilt to translate to the spoken word but not only did I get a deeper tone, they maintained the twang thats been a staple to Tele's. I'm not easily impressed but Darco 11's are without a doubt the best quality strings I have ever used. I also believe that minimal increase in gauges between the GHS Boomer 10's & Darco 11's is just that, minimal. As far as I'm concerned I'll be a customer for life. Scott Stevens

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
