"D'Addario strings break in quickly and yield a fast response, which means less work for me while practicing and performing. They also provide a smooth surface which makes it easy when shifting or applying slide technique. But most of all, they sound AMAZING! I particularly love the Kaplan Amo, Zyex, and Helicore lines. And I deeply admire everything the company does to support string education and performance."
