Make my DX-1 sound even better.

Clapton comes across as a bit of a **** nowadays, but these strings are superb.

Not what I expected...
Young-Bin 04.02.2016
I was a little bit disappointed at these strings.
As a big fan of Eric Clapton, I wanted to try these and had high hopes.
Unfortunetly due to such high hopes, my disappointment was just as great.

The tone and feel is just...average...
Not to mention that the tone doesn't last much long either.

I will always stick with Elixirs for acoustic guitars!
(although it costs 3 times as much)

Speaking of costs...I'd say the price is quite good for a signature series strings.


Basically everything about these strings are just average, like any 5-8 euro pack of strings.
These are just my personal opinions though.
Best to try it yourself to see how it is.

Loads of character
Sure, why not 09.04.2024
With a properly set up guitar, and after a few days of playing, these really take off. Great harmonics, sweet tones on the trebble, strumming is not overly bright (on a mahogany dreadnought with maple top), great for slide guitar, since they have pretty good tension on them, great allrounder. They are really grippy though. You can hold a rhythm just by switching bar chords, so take note.

I use these n my 000-28EC, strings are subjective, but I've tried a few different brands on this guitar, all 12's mind you, and always come back to these. Like all string I try/use, I prefer them once they've broken in, so after a week or so.

Sound amazing
jorgemosquerad 30.12.2020
They are comfortable, smooth, a very classic guitar tone with a lot of body, and considering that I've been using .013 for many years, these work great for me.

Okay but nothing special
Anonymous 26.01.2016
Slightly sweeter tone than standard Martin strings. I found the bass strings kept more definition when tuning down (I play in lower turnings a lot). However, I also found the treble strings snapped fairly easily after only a few hours gigging and that's why I haven't rushed back to buy another set.

If Eric Clapton puts his name on it, most often than not it's going to be good. I use these on my martin d42
