Review: Great strings - Thought I would give these strings a try on my Takamine with a piezo pickup system. Lovely feel under the fingers and sound warm which is what I wanted. Sound good through the piezo and great for mic recording. Over all very pleased just wish they would do a 12 to 52 set. Review: Fantastic strings - Great tone, great sustain, great playability, and very easy on the fingers. Can't put my Takamine down.

Lovely feel under the fingers and sound warm which is what I wanted. Sound good through the piezo and great for mic recording. Over all very pleased just wish they would do a 12 to 52 set. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic strings *by L***O on 7 February 2024* Great tone, great sustain, great playability, and very easy on the fingers. Can't put my Takamine down. Would highly recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tone for Taylor GS Mini *by M***D on 6 October 2024* Having struggled to find lighter gauge strings for a Taylor GS Mini these hit the sweet spot. I've found the shorter scale length has made the strings too tight to bend, especially as the guitar is set up for 12 and 13 gauge. Further, I've found the Taylor overly bright and was looking for a string to give a more mellow tone. I like my action very low and with other gauge strings managed as low as 1mm at top E 12th fret - yes, it can be done. Had to give the tiniest tweak to the truss rod to stop any buzz but these strings still manage about 1.5mm action. They have a lower tension, fuller sound and are wonderfully soft to the touch. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Strings, Silk & Steel, EJ40, Light Gauge 11-47, 6-String Set, Pack of 1 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - Martin Authentic Acoustic Guitar Strings, Superior Performance Custom 11.5-47, Silk & HT Steel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49551902-daddario-silk-and-steel-acoustic-guitar-strings-ej40-6-string](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49551902-daddario-silk-and-steel-acoustic-guitar-strings-ej40-6-string) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
