John Pearse 1400L Phos Bronze 12 String Acoustic Guitar Strings Light .010 - .047star rating 5Greg WaggonerJune 30, 2010I have tried about every mass available brand strings on my Ovation. John Pearse strings are the only strings I will ever put on my 12-string. Their high end chime is unmatched, I mean no other major brand I have tried even comes close. Their longevity is the same. They can be a little hard to find at times, but my 12-string will sit stringless before I buy anything else. These strings are absolutely the best.
