What kind off strings do you use?

[Ridgemont]

I believe much depends on the guitar, and especially the woods with which the guitar is constructed.

I agree with this. I find PBs to be just too much on a rosewood guitar. The initial overtones cloud the fundamental note when the strings are new. But I do like PBs on mahogany. At least the guitars I own.

I just trie Tony Rice signature strings (Martin). I couldn't get them off the guitar fast enough.

Now that's what I call a glowing testimonial! :lol:

My OCD must be kicking in big time, because every time I look at this thread in the listing I wanna change that word in the subject to OF..... It's driving me crazy.

For a "what strings?" thread, this one has been pretty good. I've enjoyed it..... but it's about the subject line...... :roll:

Y'know, I'm about as OCD as they come, and yet...that one got by me completely!

The raw naked dirty unvarnished truth is that there's a conspiracy between all the manufacturers to force us to use guitar strings on our guitars, and no other kind..

I use DAdarrios on most of my guitars, both both Guilds are clunkers with them but sound great with Martin Marquis!

 

[Warner_21]

I like Martin Lifespan SP 80/20 Bronze Extra Lights on my Guild F-47 and Martin DX-1. Second choice is Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze Extra Light.

 

[70man]

Hey has anyone use Country gold superwounds,......well that's what they used to be called,now Rotosound,sort based on a piano concept,where the winding stops before the saddle,and only a single strand passes over the saddle,which makes them a little lower action wise and maybe clearer....I have not use them since the name change or someone bought the old company and re-banded them.

 

[Terry Allan Hall]

Prefer Elixer Light Polywebs, although Elixer Light Phos. Bronze Nanowebs or D'Addario EXP-J16s (for 6-string) or EXP-36 (for 12-string) are good, for my 2nd choice.

If neither are available, I can get by with regular D'Addario J16/J-36 or the equivalent from John Pearse, but I'll be inclined to change them sooner.

About the only strings I really hate to use are Martin Marquis...my body chemistry can kill a set to beyond redemption in about 90 minutes!

 

[Putmonk]

Ok, just came back from my trip to Florida and picked up three sets of EJ16's and installed them on my guitar. I must say they sound really great. They sound brighter than the martins, but have a little less bass.

But overall I'm quite happy and I think I will stick with them.

Thanks for the advice!
