D'Addario EXP17 Coated Phosphor Bronze Medium Acoustic Guitar StringsAn ultra-fine layer of EXP Coating is bonded to the phosphor bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire. The result is a built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear that can quickly sap the life out of your strings and your sound. EXP coated phosphor bronze strings have a natural round wound feel and sound fresh and bright with a "new string tone" that lasts three to four times longer than traditional guitar strings.

strings have a nice even balance of tone from string to string. On my Tak they have a nice bright tone without being too bright or too "twangy". If you finger pick a lot they have an excellent response with a good sustained ring. I tried the EXP16 lights and really liked them but they slapped a bit too much if I strummed them too hard. Since I mainly strum I went to the EXP17's. The heavier base strings solved my problem without adding too much more stress on the fingers. Long lasting playability. The coating reduces the "scratch" caused from sliding fingers down the strings. I really like these strings and I think you will too.
These strings came on my Takamine acoustic and I didn't realize how good they were until I switched strings. These strings have a great mellow tone. Get them.
I have used these strings in performances and love their long lasting playability. They are more responsive than the Elixer's by far and sound much better to me.
