Haven't had much experience with acoustic strings. Think I have a set of Martins on now. I always used GHS boomers. Started using them cuz the guy who turned me on to playing used them. Thought I might like to try a set of Ball super slinkys for a change. Put them on my Telecaster and love them! I will keep using them for a while on this guitar. On my Hagstrom (the other guitar I always play) I still have the factory strings but will soon be changing them. Will start with the GHS on there and see if they can hold a tune with the Tremolo like the factory strings did. If not then the search will continue
