Acoustic Strings

[Tone2TheBone]

I've tried other strings, but keep going back to Elixir Nanoweb custom lights. They sound great on my Taylor 310ce and last much longer. I just purchased a set of the phosphor bronze Elixir Nanos because I read somewhere that they are not quite as bright. Hope to get them on and give them a try soon.

Thats what I put on the Sigma Martin...the PBNWs. I thought they were supposed to be brighter? I love Elixirs.

I love Elixirs too, they're great strings. From the posts I've read at some other forums, the concensus seems to be that PBs are a little warmer than the standard 80/20 Elixirs. I think everyone's ears (and opinions) are bit different. Here are a couple of sample threads over at the acoustic guitar forum re: Elixer PBs.

After I get around to trying mine out (hopefully this weekend), I'll post my opinion.

Finally got around to trying the Elixir PBNWs and they definitely sound a little warmer on my guitar than the Elixir 80/20 NWs. They're still bright, just a little warmer. Great strings.

This is a very good question to ask. I have been looking for the same quality in acoustic strings. Although in my case, cost is an issue. But then strings on my acoustic last about 4 months. I have been finger pickin" them here more than I normally do. I am trying to get these appendages to get some finger pickin" memory in them.

From what I hear, if you pick'em with a chicken you can get some nice squawking tones.

I wish I had an acoustic, so I don't know. Did you check out Snake Oil Strings?
