"I've used D'Addario strings for as long as I can remember. In performance and recording, I can always trust D'Addario strings to make a beautiful sound with perfect tuning. D'Addario's fantastic and extensive range of strings means I can get the perfect sound from any instrument. The variety of materials, tensions, coatings, and finishes gives me all the choice I need to draw the best sounds out of any guitar."
Craig Ogden
"For clean and squeak-free recording, I've used EJ51 Pro-Arte Polished Basses on every one of my recordings over the last 30 years. D'Addario basses are always gloriously rich and projecting."
