is therea ball at end of the string

Yes they are made for steel string acoustic guitars

What light and medium and custom light means???

Light and medium are the width of the strings. Medium strings resonate more but are harder to hold down. Light strings are easier to play but can buzz a little if played too hard. The custom strings try and give you the best of both worlds...lighter bass strings that are easier to play and thicker treble strings which resonate a little better. I like the customs myself.

Do you recommend these d'addario nickel bronze strings for strumming ? (vs d'addario phosphor bronze)

I am a strummer and I love these string. I have them on both my Taylor and my Martin. They have a rich tone whether picked, plucked, or strummed. I was one of the beta testers of these strings, sense then they are the only strings that I have used.

Best Acoustic strings yet.

If you like to be able to play loud and you want crystal clear and metallic but piano-like tones then these are the strings for you. A little bit more expensive than what I usually use, but worth it in my opinion. They may even be too clear-sounding if what you prefer is a warmer tone. These are very BRIGHT.

Muy buenas

Toco la guitarra desde hace muy poco tiempo, por eso me compré una guitarra acústica que no sea dura y con la que medianamente pueda tener una calidad decente (epiphone pro 1). Llegó el momento en que corté una cuerda y terminé comprando estas cuerdas y lo que puedo decir es que le cambiaron el sonido a mi instrumento, pero para mejor! Tengo un sonido precioso, son cuerdas geniales. Las recomiendo

Pflegebedürftig, aber genial !

Bisher ein Fan von Elixier Nanoweb muss ich sagen, der ausgeprägt klare Klang der Nickel Bronze Saiten hat mich umgehauen. Wer Picking mag, wird Nickel lieben. Diese Saiten eignen sich nicht für jede Gitarre. Meiner Erfahrung nach auf Fichtendecken einfach genial, auf Mahagoni dagegen eher schwach.
