First, the nylon guitar strings were packaged in the wrong individual containers (2 labeled as #6, no #2). Two of the wound strings spontaneously snapped during the first night after they were installed. And, no, they were not wound too tightly. Strongly recommend against purchasing this particular product.

Sometimes some products were designed by the customers like. If people like the rainbow colors I'm sure they will made them. I bought 2 sets and gave them a try. The GBE strings are black. They only looked pretty but sounded worse than the regular nylon strings.

I really like this string, actually. It's cheap, and it's good. The top 3 strings look quite cool, because they're black. The sound quality is very good: very clear but not as loud as some others. No intonation problems detected. It's one of the few strings with a ball end, but having ball ends make them easy to install. When the strings pop, they don't leave those bite marks under the bridge. The strings are quite stiff, so I feel like I have more control in fingerpicking. At this price, you should try them for yourselves.

I am normally an Ernie Ball fan. Haved used their strings for electrics for years, with few issues. I ordered these to put on my 6 year olds 1/2 size acoustic we got her for Christmas. How sad that these are made so cheaply. I was putting on the top E string and had turned the crank less than a few times, not near enough tension on the string yet to even be in tune yet, and "pop" it broke. I had ordered two sets, so I put on the one from the new set. No problems until I got to the G string, then "pop" another breaker. Very sad. The second G worked. Finally after getting all the strings on and the guitar tuned, it sounds ok, but the g, even though the harmonics matched and my tuner said it was on note, just has a funny sound to it. Can't explain it.

I picked up some D'arrdio's and had no trouble what so ever. NO breaks, and NO funny sound from the G string.

Very dissapointed in the quality of these.

These strings are pretty sweet. I wasn't expecting much from them but they play smooth, stay in tune, and hold up under high tension. Gold and black looks good too. Great deal for the price!

Love these strings!! I recently purchased an antique Silvertone cedar body classical guitar from an antique store for $50.00. I'm thinkin they did not know what they were gettin rid of! Anyhow - replaced the strings with these and it friggin sounds great!! Won't use anything else!!

This is just what I was looking for price was phenomenal, service was terrific. Very quick shipment and delivery. Quality of product was found to be supurb. Would definitely recomend both product and seller to friends and others.

they dont have a very good sound and the strings are very hard.. i was also not too happy about the 4th string being miswound and having a knot in th string that is unfixable.

Got the strings for my husband & he hasn't had chance yet to put them on his guitar. But they are exactly what he requested so I'm sure they will be just fine.
