    Guitar Strings

    I've bought lots of guitar strings from the Acoustic Centre. The range is great and the staff are are always helpful with information related to string performance and structure. I'm very satisfied.

    Not as good as expected

    The sixth string has less tension than what I usually play,lead the action lower then normal and caused unexpected buzzing noise while playing the fretted notes, which also shorter the sustain. Since the string energy as been wasted somehow, but the tone with other strings is fantastic. And I also step up a whole tone to make sure the tension works as normal to reduce the buzzing noise on the sixth string. So for those who willing to try, if you use light tension before, this might works fine, but if you were using mid tension, maybe try mid tension for this one to avoid the problem I have.

    Santa Cruz Parabolic stings

    Only use Santa Cruz parabolic strings on my Santa Cruz H model. They just seem to be the perfect string for that guitar.

    Still evaluating.

    So far so good. I do like them a lot, just need a bit more time to test their longevity. Never thought I would move away from Elixir Phos/Bronze nano, but the Santa Cruz parabolic strings just might do it.

    Disappointing strings

    Firstly, prompt delivery and service, as usual from the Acoustic Centre. Great store to deal with. The strings though are a massive disappointment. I strung my Martin OM-42 with light tension and Maton 808TE with mid tension SC strings. They both sound "dead" - really attenuated overtones and poor string balance. I get the tension idea, but the light set just felt wrong - the treble E felt way tighter than either the B or (especially) G. Maybe these sound great on SC guitars (I would try that :) ) but not for me. Previously trialled on a Taylor 614CE as well.

    Santa Cruz Low Tension Parabolic Strings

    I was a bit sceptical at first - you know marketing hype. I bought two sets and strung my Collings OM2H acoustic guitar. They seem easier under the finger and sound great. They don't last quite as long as the Elixers I have used for years - but then they don't fray either. I play every day (fingerstyle) and the first Santa Cruz strings lasted three weeks (I live in Brisbane and it gets quite humid and strings don't last as long as in Tasmania. This is my second order and I really like the strings.
