Amazing playing. Amazing demo. Very systematic and consistent. The phosphor bronze are very smooth. Strumming sounds like a sheet of sound, but when it's finger-picked doing multiple lines, the high notes struggle to come through the mix. You CAN make them pop, but like it's shown in the "Arpeggio" part of the video, it's almost like they needed to play too hard to come through. 80/20 doesn't have that sheet of sound lushness, but the high strings have a much better separation, and you don't have to dig in to make them sing.
Why doesn't this channel have a millions of subscribers? The quality of videos and the man itself deserves it. Simplistic and real. Keep up the good work.
I was literally searching for that video in your showdowns playlist. Great that you are coming up with that video. There is no such video in youtube for that comparison for acoustic guitar, I really wanted it. Just a suggestion... Include phosphor bronze and 80/20 bronze for both the strings in the video for the ultimate showdown. I am sure a lot of people wanted that. Kudos to your work. P.S : You forgot to give me a ❤️
Perfect timing indeed!! Two days ago I found about this XT PB 12-53 almost half price than elixir here in Perú, today I thought 'what would you think about them jeje... I'd appreciate your opinion between xt PB and elixir PB. Thanks for the videos!!
I have an Orangewood Morgan (all Mahogany) and I think the brightness of the 80/20 XT strings complements the warmer tone of the all Mahogany body. Thanks!
Tune Normally. The tension on 12s should not put great enough tension on your guitar neck to break it. This is of course unless your guitar manufacture specifically says so.
@@refaaria 12s are considered "light" strings and are very common and I would think most guitars would be able to handle such a common string gauge. Check out this video, even lights come in different gauge sizes. Maybe avoid 13s...
Can’t believe you just have 1.06k subs and have thousands more views man. Your vids are of great help to beginners like me. I wish your channel the growth that it deserves!
Seriously? After you bought it and installed it in your guitar and played it for 2 hours it became rusty? I don't think that's possible. I just bought mine yesterday from the same store, but it's 80/20 Bronze.
Brand does not really matter for bending but gauge size is a factor. Generally, the lighter the gauge the easier to bend. You would want to find "light" strings for this. Sometimes strings are named by their diameter. 11's are considered a light string. To sum up, either go with lights or "11s".
Im using the XT Phosphor Bronze on an Ibanez V70CE, they sound great! Sweetwater is doing free shipping on them currently. $14.99 no matter where ya buy them, might as well save the $6 in shipping. No sure how long they will be doing that though.
I don't think I've heard anything anywhere where the 80/20 outperforms the phosphor bronze. 80/20 strings should just simply be abolished and whoever thought them up should be erased from history J/k.🤪
LOL, Harsh! But I think I agree. The phosphor bronze are more musical or natural? Its a pretty subjective topic but Ive tried a ton of 80/20 versions and none of them struck my fancy.
I own a Martin OMC28-E and i tried D'Addario Phosphor/Bronze on it...Sounded..well...dead...put back D'Addario Bronze 80/20 on it and it became alive again...different strings for different guitars...

hit the subs button guys.. 😁
@@yya7420 ....yea
Perfect timing! My 11s XT Bronze is starting to lose its tone (after 2 months 3 days, 2hrs daily playing) and I'm considering the PB one.
Nice. Let me know how you like them
@@JTravlos only if you keep em comparisons coming 😉
@@Prayudi__A Totally, I am changing up my talking head background so I can crank them out quicker. That was the limiting factor!

That will be my next video!
Just purchased some XT PB's for my Taylor 714ce. Can't wait to put them on and try them. Btw, great vid!
Nice! Report back!

Ernie ball 80/20 vs dadario 80/20
I have an Orangewood Morgan (all Mahogany) and I think the brightness of the 80/20 XT strings complements the warmer tone of the all Mahogany body. Thanks!
I need to put some 80/20s on my mahogany taylor gs mini to brighten it up. Thanks for watching!
I heard that if you use a size 12 strings,, that you have to tune you're guitar a ½ step? Is it true? Or is it ok if i just fully tune it normally?
Tune Normally. The tension on 12s should not put great enough tension on your guitar neck to break it. This is of course unless your guitar manufacture specifically says so.
@@JTravlos Ah.. Alright, if you're wondering i have a Cort AD810 E OP.... So it's ok to tune normally?
Thanks for the info btw

XT are one of the best strings, nice sound.

I Bought This In JB Music The Code is working But my Xt Strings are rusty In just 2 hours of playing....
Oh that is annoying. Has anyone else had this problem? Chime in if you have.

Sir,
which strings will be better for bending in Fender-sa105ce?

@@JTravlos - Ty sir for your response.

Thanks for the heads up! Do you have the Blue Ibanez?
@@JTravlos Yep! I almost got the red one (violin sunburst), but couldn't resist that blue.
I don't think I've heard anything anywhere where the 80/20 outperforms the phosphor bronze. 80/20 strings should just simply be abolished and whoever thought them up should be erased from history J/k.🤪

I dunno man, for me the 80/20 sound better on the arpeggio. Overall PB is still better, and yeah 80/20 sounds too bright on strum.
