Using these (they are my go-to for acoustics) on my Taylors (GC3 and GS Mini) is like turning up the treble knob on the guitar. Bright and lively and they last a decent amount of time if you keep the guitar in the case. Even dead they sound good but I really love the jangle you get when you put a fresh set of these on. If you're looking for a muted tone, these are not that. If you want your guitar to sing, though, they fit the bill.
