I'm ordering a batch of strings today for my "herd" and was thinking of trying out some Thomastik-Infeld Spectrum strings on my D55. I use TI Plectrums (low-tension) on my Taylor 812ce and they are the best strings I've ever used, at least for a small bodied guitar, so I thought why not try some TI Spectrums (normal tension) on my D55.
Not sure if I should go with Spectrum 12-54s (167lbs) or 13-57s (188.6lbs)... I currently have Daddario EJ19s 12-56 (175.8lbs) on my D55.
The reason I would like to try something different is I sometimes find the overtones/sustain of my D55 a bit over the top. There is so much going on "sonically" that it sometimes loses clarity/focus depending on what I'm playing. I know this is the nature of the beast. But if I could find some strings that could tone it down just a tad, a little quicker decay, a tad more fundamental sound...
Any thoughts?
