Your cart is empty..012,.016,.024,.032,.042,.053 the exciting new silks sets mark a departure from orthodox acoustic string design. Formulated for the electric guitarist who doubles on acoustic, this set features a never before possible "playing ease" tension married with the warmth and projection for which our acoustic strings are famous. Our triple annealed mild steel is pulled through a draw plate to make an extra skinny core. Onto this is wound a silk multifilament which cushions a phosphor bronze winding. This is not a silk and steel set. The natural edginess of the phosphor bronze winding is tempered by the silk cushion to produce a tone that studio players everywhere are likening to our 80/20 bronze sets after they have been played in. Steve Sheehan, lead guitarist with the Judd's, asked us to make this set. Guitarists all over America are thanking him.

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.

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.

As many Taylor guitar owners admit, Taylors tend to be on the bright side. You can warm that sound up a little with these Pearse silk and bronze strings. They will not last as long as Elixers or other coated strings though. I have them on a Taylor 814 Sitka and Cocobolo and also on a Furch G Cedar and Padauk. Offers a slightly warmer and pleasing contrast to my other acoustics which are a little brassier.

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.

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

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

I'm glad JP makes a set of silk wound strings at this gauge. If you're looking for comfortable, mellow strings with some girth, these fit the bill. At the start, great tone and volume on a 0015m Martin. No jangly or tinny sound at all, very warm. On the flip side, a bit muddy on the low strings.After a week of moderate play, they dropped to a more damp sound… Not sure if they went dead or they simply broke in, because they still sound pretty good despite the change. Either way, worth checking out if you like a woody, warm tone. Good for finger style playing, flexible, and they get softer as you go.
