DR StringsSunbeam Acoustic Medium - Heavy

I have been using these for a few years and they last longer than others, are round core so have the easier playability even with thicker gauges and just sound good. I used these as baseline strings to hear what a new guitar sounds like. Sometimes I go to different strings because the guitar calls for it, but for the most part probably 7 out of 10 of my acoustics are all strung with these. Have also never broken a string in about 4 years with these.

Great strings. Arrived quickly.

Fast delivery. Happy with product. Thank you

Normally I'm not very critical when it comes to strings but I ordered 4 sets of these to try them out as recommended by members on the acoustic guitar forum and all 4 sets on 4 different guitars sounded dead to me. I personally won't be buying these again but I will say strings are a very personal thing and while these weren't for me doesn't mean that anyone else won't like them.

I got turned onto DR Sunbeam strings by someone in an acoustic forum. The reason I experimented with them initially is because the core is round (rather than hex, like most strings) and purportedly has lower tension on the wound strings, making it easier on the hands.While the DR Sunbeam 13-56 actually are easier than most 13 sets I actually prefer... no.. LOVE the DR Sunbeam 12's. However, the love for them extends only to one of my guitars- my Martin D-35. They're ok for my other guitars, but my Martin ROARS with the Sunbeam 12's. The 13's, while nice sounding (on this guitar) they pale in comparison to the 12's. The DR Sunbeam 12's have eclipsed any other string that I've tried on the D-35 and not in a small way.I have to report that they did not have the same amazing bump in sound with my Taylor 614CE or '81 MIJ Epiphone PR-755s (think D-28). Again, they sounded good, but I have other strings that I prefer on those guitars. BTW... Make sure you read the installation instructions. You have to make sure the wound ends are crimped or bent properly to make sure the strings don't go dead prematurely. Also important to note, they hold their tone for me at least 3 weeks and I've also gone 6 weeks between changes. FWIW Elixirs don't last any longer for me....and these sound WAY better than Elixirs on all my guitars. There is only one way to know if they work for you... Try them. They're cheap.
