John Pearse 610 LM Strings Silk Phos Bronze Acoustic Strings, Med-Light

I’ve been playing PB and 80/20s by various manufacturers including EB aluminum and nickel and have mixed gauges on my Takamine EF340CELH. I need not mix manufacturers and gauges anymore as I’ve hit the jackpot with the hybrid John Pearse 601LM. They dial in fast with highs and mids ringing through and provide the missing lows after many years playing this guitar. The tonal quality and frequencies are unmatched. It will cost you a little more but well worth the sonic delight.

I just put these on and have played them for a bit.... I like the feel and their sound. This is specifically about the Silvered Steel Phosphor Bronze and Silk Wound Light/Medium Gauge which are .012 to .053 E to E. The first and second string are silvered steel, not wound. The 3rd-6th strings are silk wound phosphor bronze. I wanted something easier on the fingers and easier to fret chords well with and these are that. They do feel slightly soft, but not too soft. I like the .012 to .053 gauge, they are easier to play and more finger tip friendly than many electric guitar strings of a smaller gauge. They sound a bit bright so far and warm with very good harmonic resonance.

Shipped quickly … but they seem to lack the same supple quality and color of the 12 strings … also there were no signs of the threads … and my 12s were a little defective I guess cuz they were splitting out threads on the big E . I would have expected to see … some silk winding on the ends of these sixes but none … hmm … the other thing the big E is just too thick on their light sets , I don’t know ….and on the 6 the big E is not very supple … otherwise done right they are great strings …I think the 12 strings are more impressive , was expecting a little for the 6 , but I dunno … I think JP strings are very good , probably the best for some guitars …but pricey …. Ps they are the right ones , i did see some threads on string end on certain ones , and I know that’s no way to judge , it’s just I was expecting just a little more , but I believe in Jp methods , but man make lighter gauges … thanks

Great, like all John Pearce strings. Good feel, great sound, balanced gauge. Try this if you can’t stand the way phos bronze strings sound until they’ve been played at least twenty hours. Also, considerably less squeak than conventional steel strings but way more balls and bottom than silk and steels.

Acoustically I thought they sounded good. I like the feel of them. But plugged into my BOSE L1, they didn’t sound good at all. They were on my J45

String very warm sound for your acoustic guitar . Highly recomended

First time buying a JP string set. Installed today. These are a joy to play. Big round sound, tension is good. Makes my Martin 00-28 sound full but sweet. Will update after a month to let you know how these hold up with light-moderate use in house.

Was looking for soft strings, there must be better available. These will do until. Packaged well and easy to assemble.
