"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

"Darco is D'Addario"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
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.
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.
