## Description

desertcart.com: DR Strings RPM-12 Rare Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - .012 - .054 Light : Everything Else

Review: Perfect for Fender Acoustics - Would absolutely buy again if I ever needed more strings. Bright but warm tone. Massive difference over stock strings. My friend enjoyed them and couldn't stop playing for hours just listening to how different every song sounded compared to the last ones. Worth it.
Review: Underrated guitar strings - I've been stringing all my guitars with DR strings since I was a teenager. They're well made in the USA, they sound great, they're very affordable, have a very short settle-in time, and they last forever. I rarely ever break a DR string. They go dull well before a string breaks. These are very bright, boomy strings right out of the gate but after a day or two, they settle in and mellow out a bit, remaining bright but not too bright. The break-in time is also another notable thing with these. Once they're on and tuned to pitch, that's where they stay as long as you have good tuners. I remember tuning other strings and starting to play and having to stop a couple minutes in to re-tune a few times that day because they slipped out from stretching. Not these. These stay right where you set them the first time. I love DR strings. They're very underrated. Give them a try.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these strings vacuum packed?**
A: No they are not. They are in paper envelopes and in the box.

**Q: are these strings appropriate for a resonator guitar?**
A: Technically you can string a resonator with anything you like.  That said, there are other string sets designed specifically for resonators (especially metal).  You may also want to consider a lower gauge string set.  Some are made with open tuning in mind.  I suggest trying these, this is a great price right now:

**Q: Are these appropriate strings for a classical/acoustuc gianinni guitar?**
A: No you really nylon strings for classical guitar. thanks - Darryl, Megatone Music

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, bold, rich, LOUD
*by S***H on October 26, 2020*

For my first time changing my strings since I've had this guitar, I'm pretty impressed. These strings are seriously rich and loud. My gosh, what a difference. I usually play during my lunch break and I try to play quietly because my boyfriend is doing schoolwork in the other room - and let me tell you, I'm having a hard time playing quietly with these. The sound is amplified and every note is so full and beautiful. I feel like I'm playing a harp. They're not too bad on my fingers, either. I'm a relative beginner and had a hard time with new strings in the past, but these haven't really cut my fingers at all. I don't dread playing anymore for that reason. These were such a good purchase! I think these are my go-to strings now. They came in very clearly marked packages and changing them out was a breeze. Absolutely no complaints!
