My experience when problems occur

I have used these strings for many years and I have not found any other sets that compares. When I did experience some minor problems, I got an immediate reply and honest explanation.

Quality strings, amazing service

Always gotten super quality strings from D'Addario, ever since I switched from the last company because of price and selection. Super helpful customer service team, had a string snap on me while redoing my acoustic bass, they even checked the scale length of my bass to make sure I was getting the right set, before sending me replacements.

From a D'Addario fan for many years!!

I have been a D'Addario fan for many - many years. Why??, I enjoy supporting a company that takes pride in their products and stands by them no matter what! It's very rare but whenever I have a problem with their strings, my go-to cust. rep is "George" because he shows genuine concern for customer satisfaction! It's people like George that generates repeat sales and brand loyalty!

Customer service with a smile.

Refused to correct type of strings in the order

I have not noticed that I added Light tension strings into my shopping cart instead of Medium. Placed order. Immediately reached out to their order support to correct the order (the price is identical) to show Medium. They responded that no changes to the order are allowed for some obscure reason of shipping it quickly (the order has not shipped yet), but that after receiving the order I can return it (and pay the shipping fee, of course). They shipped the order one day AFTER I reached out to them.

[UPDATE after receiving reply] So the order was in fact shipped more than TWO days after I reached out to correct the order. It sounds like to make the shipping process simpler for the company, customers are left out to dry: instead of the item I want, an item I don't want is "quickly" (after 2 full business days) is shipped to me, and I am asked to waste time and money on return.

I actually regret ordering directly with d'Addario - if I ordered the same thing from Amazon, I would not have this problem (changing order, canceling order, doing free return if I need to), and I would also get 5% cash back on my purchase. Not the end of the world, but lesson learned.

Hey Andrii, Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately as stated on our site, we aren't able to modify orders after they're placed as they do begin processing immediately (this allows us to get orders shipped out as quickly as possible, since we send out a huge amount of orders every day). Since an order begins processing immediately, it is very challenging to stop the shipment, even if it hasn't yet left our warehouse. While we are very sorry for any inconvenience about your order processing too quickly to be able to be altered - we do strive to make the returns process as quick as possible as well. Our team will be happy to assist in getting that return processed for you. Thank you for your understanding!

5 star strings, 4 star website, 1 star checkout

When placing order I get "There was an error processing your payment. Please try again or try with another card". Somebody should probably look into fixing this.

Excellent support

The support team is extremely accommodating, I was able to get an issue resolved even though I made a mistake and it wasn't covered under their policy.

Thanks D'Addario!

Best company, best strings

I've been playing d'Addario strings for going on 50 years and have never been disappointed. Their tone is unmatched, they last forever and customer service is absolutely top-notch.

very responsive

very responsive. It's quite unusual to find a broken reed in a D'addario box, but it happened to me. I have contacted the customer support and they immediately reacted. Congratulations.

What's Not To Like!!!

Over a span of time of about four months, I have acquired four guitars. All are dressed with D'Addario strings and they all sound majestic. I have used other brands in the past. D'Addario is simply a cut above all others, in my opinion.
Orders placed get to my doorstep in very short order and George in Customer Service is never far away if I need to communicate about anything. I wouldn't want to buy from any other brand...I'm getting the best.

Sadly, D'addario isn't what it used to be

First, I used to order from here and even received some swag or merch from time to time. Illness forced early retirement but I still try to play when I can. I bought my strings (double bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, fiddle, and banjo from them.
Placed an order on Nov 7, 2025 and now I get email about Black Friday deals. Asked if they could adjust or do something and they credit me 200 players circle points.
What happened to real customer service? It's not like a little merch complimentary would break them. Would like to say I won't be back but the truth is, I can't find any other bass strings (specifically) that are anywhere near to what they have. I'll be back... Just with lower expectations.

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out, and thank you for your feedback! We're very sorry for any disappointment. While we do try to always honor what we can, unfortunately we're not able to honor sale prices outside of promo periods. However, Players Circle points can be used to get free gear any time of the year! Thanks for your understanding, and thank you for choosing D'Addario!

Extremely disappointed

Extremely disappointed. I play pro arte EJ30 rectified nylon, normal tension. The trebles have now been replaced (it has been confirmed) with clear polished strings, but with no change in description. The packaging even continues to refer to “lightly textured” trebles. I just wasted 50 dollars on 3 sets because of this. I will have to say farewell to D’Addario after many, many years as a loyal customer.

Hailey @ (D'Addario) the best,,



Hailey @ (D'Addario) , has been great, the response was very quick , the warranty was over and above with my product replacement. I highly recommend using and will continue to use their quality products. It was a pleasure dealing with Hailey, and that's what makes companies great and stand out from the rest. Thank you
