not a good deal.

The strings are nice and warm, have a wonderful sound quality, and last a good deal of time

I am a long time user of Ernie Ball strings and this was a great deal

That makes them a poor choice for students because I can't speak for your instructor but mine doesn't allot a great deal of time for my guitar to warm up at the start of the lesson.

What do you know, two weeks later, the high e string breaks, and leaves me with a lovely welt across my fingers

The E was slightly better

If you favor a unwound G, you can pickup a set of Ernie Ball 2008 Earthwood 80/20 Bronze Rock & Blues Acoustic String Set, (10 - 52), which have a bigger E string as well

Defective high E strings

The .12 E string broke as I was stringing my guitar

I find the 10-gauge for top-E and 14-gauge for the B to be near-ideal for playability, and with the four bronze strings they deliver a rich, fulsome chord sound

I bought the 3 pack, unfortunately 2 out of the 3 had defective high E strings

but as of now, not too happy with the sound that is coming from the strings.

A few of them broke as I was tightening them

I've used Ernie Ball strings for years on my 12 guitar as well as on my 6 string.
