I would totally recommend these for beginners. My guitar has a bad habit of having the tension much too high compared to other guitars. Many people would like the sound of my guitar but would not enjoy the tight strings. Because of these strings, my guitar is now very playable compared to before. I've always used light gauge strings for my guitar because of how tense they would always be. When I found out that there was an even lighter gauge, I went ahead and ordered these. So far, I am very please with the sound and the feel of the strings. I don't have an issue with pressing too hard on the strings and the strings going out of tune in consequence, they sound wonderful, and best of all, they do not hurt my fingers! Bar chords are so much easier because of these strings, and there isn't a lot of pressure needed to press down the strings. I would only have to say that there is a bit more fret buzz than I remember with my strings, but it's easily solved with me pressing harder or putting my fingers closer to the fret. Once again, these strings are by far the best I've had on my guitar. If you are a beginner or would like a more playable guitar because your string tension is too much, I would totally recommend these for sure!Read full review

Extra light is just what was needed for the teenager to be able to fret easily. Not as good as the thicker strings, but for what they are, the fit the need. Happy with them overall.

These strings were really simple for me to attach to the guitar. Of course I had to learn a proper technique, but these strings were color coded on the ball ends which mad life alot easier for me. Then they are great quality and sound great on my acoustic. Definitely would buy again. A+++

These strings are great for Acoustic. They are soft to work with, not the stiff, painful strings you may have used in the past. But being softer, doesn't take away from their thick sound. Give them a try!
