## Questions & Answers

**Q: is therea ball at end of the string**
A: Yes they are made for steel string acoustic guitars

**Q: What light and medium and custom light means???**
A: Light and medium are the width of the strings. Medium strings resonate more but are harder to hold down. Light strings are easier to play but can buzz a little if played too hard. The custom strings try and give you the best of both worlds...lighter bass strings that are easier to play and thicker treble strings which resonate a little better. I like the customs myself.

**Q: is the 3rd string wound?**
A: Yes! A wound 24 third string

**Q: Do you recommend these d'addario nickel bronze strings for strumming ?  (vs d'addario phosphor bronze)**
A: I am a strummer and I love these string. I have them on both my Taylor and my Martin. They have a rich tone whether picked, plucked, or strummed.  I was one of the beta testers of these strings, sense then they are the only strings that I have used.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by K***A on 3 December 2025*

I used these for the first time after using Phosphor bronze strings for over 10 years. I was initially not sure as the sound was different from the ones I was used to, considerably less warm. But over time the sound grew on me. The feel was very nice too almost as good as phosphor bronze, no noticeable difference. I haven’t had to change these for over a year and they’re still good, the phosphor bronze ones used to rust much faster and loose their texture. Will be continuing with these for future re l-stringing.
