SS,
I love Elixir Acoustic strings. From now on they're all I'll buy.
Explain your action. What do you mean by "less sticky playing experience"? Sometimes I'll raise or lower the bridge or string saddles by a miniscule amount and voila...instant action gratification. Miniscule amount to me means the width of head on a flat head screwdriver (1/16 of an inch at a time"). Or sometimes I'll tighten or loosen the truss rod watching the neck to see it's curvature and that often changes my action tremendously too. These adjustments are also very small. Not sure if the actual changing of the action makes things better or if its my brain telling me it's going to be better by changing SOMETHING. But it works.
Tell us about your current action setup though I wanna know.
