Sorry about using my credentials in the title, but I want to convey how much experience I have with these strings. Sorry if I sound like an ad. I REALLY love these strings.
I have strung literally thousands of guitars over my 40 years of repairing stringed instruments. D’Addario EJ16s are IMHO the best string money can buy- it is the standard of the industry for good reason… they’re simply the best string available! D’Addario’s corrosion-proof sealed bags ensure you get them as fresh as when they left the factory. Lower grade junky stings are shipped in simple paper envelopes and allow the strings to oxidize just sitting on the shelf or in your case. On the other hand, expensive hand made string, like DRs, are wrapped way too tightly, thus, have too much mass, so your intonation and rod will probably need to be readjusted. They also play stiffly. D’Addario uses the best steel and bronze alloy and wraps the wound strings with just the correct tension so the strings breathe and bend great. They’re also VERY resistant to breakage. I have only broken a handful of D’Addarios over several thousand restringings, and the breakages usually only occurred due to a burr on the tuner post, nut, or bridge. TRUST ME ON THIS… you will love these strings!

I have played the Acoustic Guitar for eight years, maybe a little more than that. I started with standard Martin strings which I eventually found my hatred for. When I discovered these strings a few years back ago (most, if not all music stores I have visited have strung their Guitars with the D’Addario brand), I never looked back and have always used D’Addario. Only recently have I begun to use these Bronze Light sets, which I am completely infatuated with.
Most of what I play consist of finger style / classical songs, and these strings are quite easy to tap with. I’ve never had any problems, and the strings themselves come with color coded ball points to indicate which string is which (for a quick and easy string changing). If tapping/finger style isn’t your bag, these strings should still satisfy your needs. The Guitarist “Tim Reynolds” uses these very same strings on his Martin Guitars, and I can’t emphasize more on how amazing the bottom (thickest) string sounds, especially when palm muted.
If you do decide the buy these strings, I doubt you will be disappointed, but if you find it doesn’t meet your needs then I have had the pleasure of playing on Elixir strings very recently, which you might check out instead. If I know anything about Guitars, I know that I’ll be using D’Addario or Elixir strings from now on. I suggest you do the same.
