SO...what kind of guitar strings do you prefer?

Most of the time I tended to use Martins for accoustics and ernie balls for my electrics....

that was until I met my latest ex...she has ataylor guitar and on it they put these strings which she said sounded awesome so I figured I might as well try a set on my stratacoustic as it needed strings anyways and if they didn't work out it wouldn't be that big a deal as I don't play that one too much.

Well I picked up a set of these string and threw em on and I tell you what my stratacoustic sounded terrible before I put these strings on jusg because it's a cheaply made and cheap sounding guitar but when I the new strings on it there was some kind f awesome sound coming from my cheap guitar.. ;0

So if yo've ever got a few extra dollars for a set of these strings take a gamble and go for it...

And for those of you who are still wondering about these strings check them out..
Elxer with NANOWEB coating.. I'eve heard that the poly coating isn't any good..

I actually had to order a set for my 12 string off of the internet as no one in the local area has 12 string sets..

Personally, I like ernie ball medium weight (orange pack) on my electric, and Martin nylon for my classical acoustic. I couldn't be happier with my strings. Tryed GHS on the electric once and I wasn't impressed. And some weird italian brand on the acoustic, also not impressed, one of them broke within a few weeks.

I always buy the best quality strings for my electric and classical guitars, and change them regularly... ...!

It's surprising how short their life is before they start sounding "dull"... ...!

A new set of strings is like having a brand-new guitar all over again... ...
...except that my classical guitar improves with age....like a Stradivarius violin... ...!
(Its 45 years old now and sounds better every year)...!

LOL...!

Paul...getting all strung-up over nothing...LOL... ...!

I use Gibbson's Vintage Reissue on my LP, Boomers on Yamaha, and Martins on my Classical.  (Sold my Warlock, but I used Boomers on that too.)  :)

For my Jackson electrics, Ernie Ball .008 sets with .009's on top for my electrics.

Whatever... as long as it's fat.  ;D

got em on my 12 string now and they are awesome!
