I don't like mixing old and new strings, and don't feel a need to put up with brand new strings breaking.

They sound great, for the 5 minutes that they stayed intact -- had a string break almost immediately upon stringing and starting to play

I've been playing and stringing guitars for over 15 years and have NEVER had a string break on me while streching it.

I feel that these strings are not what they say they are, when i tryed to tune my guitar the strings broke before i got it tuned

Two of the strings broke during the initial states of tuning

Had a string break when I was putting it on the guitar and, since I've played for 30+ years, I'm pretty sure it wasn't operator error

On a separate note, there were some comments on lack of stretch when new (I agree, but it's a good thing) and about string breaking.

One of the strings broke while tuning it up after first restringing it

As I began to tune these babies up the first string broke once it had a tiny bit of tension in it

These strings sounded really good ... until, after only ten days, the third string broke

The next morning I awoke to my B string broken

So this change, I tried Earthwoods and had 2 out of 12 strings break while installing them

For the sake of experimentation, I replaced only the G string with an alternate string I had lying around and have no tuning issues whatsoever anymore

Usually the G-string on my acoustic snaps within a couple of weeks, but so far so good with these strings.

The high g string broke as I was tuning/changing my

As others have mentioned, the G is unwound which you may or may not like; it doesn't seem to make much difference to me

The high G string broke as I was tuning it to pitch

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

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

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.
