These exact strings came factory-installed on my Takamine G260 acoustic guitar. The polymer coating on the strings is so slight that I didn't even realize these were coated for a long time. It doesn't really affect the sound, at least to my ears. The coating helps protect the strings from corrosion, so it is a big plus. I also tried the regular phosphor bronze and they are also good. I suppose it's possible that these could slightly mellow the sound by damping ultra-high frequency harmonics, but the coating isn't supposed to be applied to the cracks between the windings, so I doubt it affects the sound at all. If you like super-bright sounding strings, maybe you want regular non-coated, but these are probably the brightest coated strings available. Sound great, have lasted months so far, 5 starsGet more detail about D'Addario EXP16 Phosphor Bronze Light - Acoustic.
