Attempting to find the Nick Drake sound
Phil Seniors 21.05.2020
I bought these as I saw a YouTube clip about trying to get Nick Drake's guitar sound. Obviously the type of guitar, picking technique and tuning are most important - but these strings already add another quality to achieving that tone...and i gather that they will sound 'more so' like Nick, as they become worn, and warmer. Would recommend.

Well balanced warm tones with clear highs

I use these strings on a Furch OM-32 spruce top, mahogany back. I play only fingerstyle, mostly blues. I'm very pleased with the balanced tone. I've played the NB 1252BT for a while but switched to these because the .022 G-string of NB 1252BT set wears too quickly. Also, the NB 1253 has a slightly tighter and thicker bass sound.

I love these strings
LeonardS 10.12.2018
The moment you put these strings on something sounds differently. I simply love the sound of these strings. They feel well and met my expectations. To my surprise they do hold their sound very long and when I want to change them I always keep them on a little longer, yes even after a couple of months. I am a finger picker and I love the balance certainly when playing open chords. Give them at least a try would be my advice. You will hear the wood of the guitar immediately.

Something special
Thomusicman 01.09.2017
I've tried these strings out on my all-mahogany Martin and been positively surprised by clarity they brought. Allthough I will still prefer 80/20 bronze strings on the all-hog guitar, the NB set should definitely be on the options list searching for some changes in any guitar's sound via putting up a new set of strings.

Simon Hebar 29.07.2022
As I say, these strings are really good, exellent sond and quality. What I do not like is this to rusty felling and it do not last so long. I use now XS from daddario.

Amazing Strings
PaulLee 01.04.2025
These strings are my favourite now for acoustic. I previously used the Ernie Ball Aluminium Bronze which are also great and really bright for recording. The D'addario NBs are a fraction less bright but they have more tone and sound a lot nicer. If I was recording, I think I will stick with the D'addarios unless it's for something that I really needed a super bright tone for cutting through a busy mix. The Nickel Bronze have brought a new tone out of my guitar and it's totally transformed the sound - not that it was bad before (It's a Santa Cruz D/PW), but it's just made it more enjoyable to play. I've also got a Yamaha acoustic but I prefer to keep super bright strings on that guitar because it needs a bit more help getting the tone out of it. I'm using D'addario 80/20 Bronze on that and the EB Alu Bronze when needed.

Nick Drake Zone
NomadAbuser 31.05.2025
Got these to try on an all solid mahogany OM because I heard they help a little in getting the Nick Drake tone. They certainly do help get closer to the tone as they remove the phosphor bronze harshness a give a little of that rubberband snap that characterizes Nick's tone. Very nice strings and definitely will be ordering more.
