12 best johnson acoustic guitar strings

Product description

AVID Country launches with it's Four Classic Country album series with a re-mastered 2CD release by Johnny Cash, complete with original artwork and liner notes. 'With His Hot and Blue Guitar'; 'Sings the Songs That Made Him Famous'; 'The Fabulous Johnny Cash'; 'Now, There Was A Song'. We all know the story of Johnny Cash, born into a large, poor family, working in the cotton fields by the age of five. Being discovered at Sun Studios alongside Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison before going on to sell over 90 million records worldwide while becoming an iconic living legend! We also all know, of course, what he sounds like, that familiar boom chaka boom chaka boom riff behind that deep, dark voice! We also know that they just don't make 'em like that anymore! Here at Avid we thought it only appropriate that our first foray into country music should feature one of its greatest legends! Here we present four very early albums from the 1950s displaying the range of music covered by the 'man in black'. He takes us from gospel to folk and blues, to rockabilly and rock "n" roll to country and pop. Whatever the genre, whether he wrote it himself or he sings a cover version, the sound is always that of the inimitable and unique Johnny Cash. If, like me, you cannot get that haunting image of him from his final 'Hurt' video out of your head, take a listen to these early albums, they will lift your spirits and take you back to where it all started.

Dunlop Strings

In 2005, we entered the string business. But we didn’t just want to sell strings—we set out to build a string company, and it was the best move we ever made. It allowed us to be closer and even more connected to the player and their whole musical experience.

Dunlop’s commitment to quality is present in every aspect of our manufacturing process. Our string facility follows strict inspection, storage and handling regulations to guarantee that our raw materials are in ideal conditions at every step of the process. All of these measures ensure that, when a player opens up a set of Dunlop Strings, they are as fresh as the day they were made. All Dunlop strings are balanced string to string, set to set.

User questions & answers

Question:	Johnson guitars require a lot of hand muscle to play efficiently. But whats a better deal
Answer:	Really? you might want to fact check that.... If you are dealing with a reputable seller like Blubaughs Music your Johnson will show up at your door set up and ready to play (except It will need to be tuned) I have NEVER encountered A Johnson guitar that required excessive "hand muscle" that is setup correctly ....Buying by price alone is usually a mistake,,,,,Check out the seller and find out if they actually sell guitars or if they are a clearing house that are drop shipping crap that is never unpacked and setup.
Question:	Is this a full size guitar
Answer:	yes
Question:	Is it easy to use
Answer:	Hi. Yes my daughter is 11 years old with small hands but it is perfect for her. The clearance of the strings from the fret are just right! It is very easy to use.

Product description

Prolong your tone with the same acoustic guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set. Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Premium by design, these acoustic strings constructed with 80/20 (80% copper, 20% zinc) bronze wrap wire boast a crisp, bright tone with an expressive, vibrant presence. Compared to our original POLYWEB Coating, the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel. For a slicker, gentler feel, try the original POLYWEB Coating on our 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Strings, which also feature a more robust and rounded tone. For more of a balance between bold and bright, our Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity alongside the same traditional feel as these 80/20 bronze strings. Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings. For a more in-depth look at what makes our strings so special, scroll to the branded info further down the page.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between poly web and nano web? Which is warmer, less bright
Answer:	I've tried both, and I'd say the polyweb coated strings are less bright. I prefer a brighter sound so I go with the nanoweb.
Question:	Why do I pay for amazon prime to get 3 day expedited shipping order these strings and ten days later no strings
Answer:	Because Jeff Bezo's needs money to pay for his expensive divorce.
Question:	I own a Wasburn D10N guitar and can't decide between the Elixir Light Nanoweb 80/20 Bronze and Phosphor bronze. Any suggestions - spruce top
Answer:	I have used almost every brand of strings on my various Martin acoustics. Elixirs stand above the crowd in terms of tone quality. 80/20 bronze bring out the best but need changing about every 2-3 months max for a daily player. Phosphor-bronze have less nuanced tone but still excellent, and seem to last almost twice as long. Recommend 80/20 for the regular player who wants the most "detailed" tone, P-B for more occasional playing and longer life. Discerning players will be happy with either in any case.
Question:	What is the difference in sound between the 80/20s and the Phosphor Bronze nano web? I enjoy ease of fingering, warm sound, projection. Which one
Answer:	80/20s bronze will initially be brighter. Phosphor bronzes will be warmer. 80/20s become warmer after use more quickly and may become undesirable to use more quickly because the strings are no longer giving you the desired tone you started with. Phosphor bronzes hold their initial tone longer, but are by design, warmer. Projection (beyond gauge of the strings~heavy vs medium vs light vs extralight) and ease of fingering have much more to do with the guitar you're using, style of playing (use of a pick/how hard you're strumming/finger-picking), and setup (tuning~you drop down a half a step, the strings will have less tension and will be easier to bend).

Made For Musicians Who Just Want To Play More Music

Ever since pioneering coated string technology in 1997, our reason for making premium guitar strings has remained simple—we want you to have more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes. And gig after gig, session after session, lesson after lesson, we’ve delivered. In fact, experienced players worldwide trust our corrosion-defying strings to keep their tone longer than any other brand’s coated or uncoated strings,* and we’re proud to stand as America’s #1 acoustic guitar string brand.**

We now offer three premium acoustic string options, each featuring our patented coating technology, to help you find exactly the tone and feel you’re looking for. Thanks to the unique differences between metals and coatings, we offer a long-lasting set for any style. From bright and sparkling to rich and robust, the dynamic range of available sound is yours for the picking. Of course, finding the string that’s right for you is a matter of personal preference. So try them out for yourself!

Less Sweat, Debris, And Finger Squeak

The way your strings sound has a lot to do with what you normally can’t see. While both of our patented coatings reduce noisy finger squeak, they also cut down on a large number of other pesky annoyances common to your average uncoated string. Sweat, skin, dirt, and even air, for example, can do a lot of damage to your strings. And if you live in a hot, humid area, the moisture in the atmosphere can wreak total havoc on your strings’ tone life. But with Elixir Strings, you’re getting world-class protection that’s engineered to endure.

Polyweb Coating Vs NANOWEB Coating

POLYWEB Coating was our first coated string innovation all the way back in the '90s. It tends to warm and mellow the string’s tone and has a fast, slick feel that’s gentle on the fingers, which lets players keep jamming without the strings getting in the way. As a response to players who said they prefer a more traditional feel, NANOWEB Coating was then designed. This ultra-thin coating allows a brighter, crisper tone while offering the same amount of tone-life protection as its predecessor.

Coated Like No Other

Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. That’s why Elixir strings retain their tone longer than any other brand’s string, coated or uncoated. Simply put, build-up and corrosion kill your tone, and Elixir strings protect against elements that cause build-up and corrosion. All while sounding exactly how you’d expect a premium set of strings to sound.

Anti-Rust Plating

Corrosion protection between wrap wire windings is all well and good, but you may be asking yourself, 'What about the strings that don’t have a wrap wire?' And we’re proud to tell you, don’t worry—we’ve got those covered too. Literally. With our signature Anti-Rust Plating, even your plain steel strings defy the elements. This ensures longer tone life not just for your coated wound strings, but for your entire set. When we say you’ll have more gigging, jamming, touring, or practice time between string changes, we mean it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would you recommend this for a Taylor 816ce
Answer:	I have a 614ce and these are perfect! The custom lights (.11) are also acceptable but you may lose some volume, still they sound good. I would play around with gauges and get the best feel and sound for you! Taylors are high class!
Question:	how many strings are in the package
Answer:	This is a full set of 6 strings for acoustic guitar.
Question:	Are all 6 strings supposed to be bronze and nano coated, or are the E-1 and B-2 anti-rust plain steel
Answer:	On the individual strings' paper packets, only the wound strings (G-3 through E-6) have "Nanoweb coating" text. The E-1 and B-2 strings say "anti-rust plain steel" instead.
Question:	What is the difference in sound between an 80/20 and phosphor bronze please? And poly and nano web? Which is warmer, less bright
Answer:	80/20 is very bright and crisp... Phosphor bronze is far more articulate and warm. And over all a more balanced sound. Hence why they cost a bit more than 80/20. As for poly vs nano? Poly has more coating to protect the strings.. But dull the sound a bit. Nano has less coating but last a bit less than poly. Hope that helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do these work with first act acoustic guitars
Answer:	They should work with most guitars. My guess is they will be way too long, but can be cut down. Make sure you do it after stringing and cut both wires on the wound strings so they don't unravel.I had to cut off about 8 inches on my acoustic Seagull.
Question:	Have a EJ200 Epiphone. Would like to replace strings. What type of D'Addario strings do I use
Answer:	I have a 45 year old Martin d-28 I use the extra light strings EJ 15 3 Dbecause I like to fingerpickthey have a very good warm soundif your guitar is fairly new try the light gauge strings they sound very good too and you can buy 3 packs for under $15 at Amazon. D'Addario makes a good string and I find they last a long time. I highly recommend!
Question:	I bought these for my son and the first two strings broke when he was putting them on. We are on the third set in twenty minutes
Answer:	When you put on a string, you have to allow enough slack for the string to coil around the tuner post. Feed the string through and leave enough slack so you can pull the string about 4 inches above the fret board and then slowly wind it up and as it tightens, pause once in a while let the string stretch. Some strings can take a day to stretch, some don't. Be patient. Good luck...but if you don't leave slack for coiling strings will break.
Question:	So does this come with all 6 strings? Im completely new to guitars
Answer:	Yes, this is a full set.Specifically this is a set of 3. If you want just one select the 1 pack. (I tried to include a link but Amazon defaults it to the 3 pack for some reason)It is possible to look up and find individual strings, but honestly that ends up being more difficult in my opinion and for the cost you might as well grab a set.I am fairly new to guitars as well, so let me just take a moment to say these strings are highly recommended. Great choice.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I put nylon strings on a guitar that use to have metal
Answer:	You can. You will need to do a neck adjustment to makeup for the lower tension. These strings are metal that the question was asked under.
Question:	Are the first 3 strings nylon
Answer:	No, they are plain steel as in other acoustic sets. Nylon would only be found on classical sets.
Question:	What would be the best string size to use on a used acoustic guitar to be played by a 9 year old boy
Answer:	The lighter the guage...the easier to bend. The easier to bend...the harder to control. Since its an acoustic guitar, i would start with 10's ...try .10 to .46. Thats a pretty standard guage. He should be able to tell if he would like a smaller guage in which case go to 9's. Better yet....take him to a guitar shop and let him try some different guage strings. If hes just strumming, he may like the 10's. When hes ready for more sophisticated play, and until his hands get larger and stronger, he may need the 9's. Happy playing!
Question:	What would be the downside of putting these strings on an old classical guitar I bought for $25. Would it cause the neck to bow
Answer:	I have never had a neck bow on me but I feel it is safer to go no smaller than .010 on acoustic guitars. One of my acoustics has delicate, thin wood and is doing fine with these strings. You'll be OK.

User questions & answers

Question:	Martin guitar ma550 authentic acoustic medium guitar strings, 92/8 phosphor bronze, are these ball end
Answer:	Santa Cruz does not supply this information because their whole philosophy behind constructing strings is different. I would guess though that thy are in the medium to medium light category , along the lines of 11-52. Hope that helps. For a better explanation check out their website.
Question:	Will they fit a MG
Answer:	I believe they are phosphor bronze, but I'm not certain. Soundwise on a vintage D-18, they are very bright on the attack. High quality strings for sure, but they don't last any longer than Daddario phosphor bronze.
Question:	Martin silk and steel strings
Answer:	I used them on a 6-string and since they come in a regular 6 string pack. As far as results go I was pleased but decided to stick with my normal EJ-16s since they were a little brighter on the Taylor.
