I went to the music store today to pick up my Bullet Strat (which I left on Friday for service) and also to change the strings on my CD-60.

I asked if they had Gibsons J-200 and the guy said to me "Please don't mention the name Gibson in this store again" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: (btw this music store is the Official Fender Dealer for Greece :) )

So for my acoustic I got the D'addario EZ910 (.011) ( I wanted the EXP-26 ones, but they didn't have them). I've only strummed it for a couple of minutes, I think they will sound good after a couple of hours of playing -- I don't know about you guys, but when I put fresh strings they always sound too "metal" and weird, but I think after a while they settle down!

I see your place has the DG Strat, on the front page of their website WR :lol: Reading this thread, has got me in the mood to get my acoustic out. It's been too long 8) I use Elixir nanoweb medium .013 - .056 on her. Brite wires on both my Gibbys ( 9's on the melody maker, 10's on the Les Paul) and super sexy slinky's on my Tele :wink:

I use D'Addario Phospher Bronze on my practice guitar and Elixers on my gig rig. I had a problem popping the G string with the Elixers and went to a medium guage and haven't had any problems since. I don't play that hard and use a nylon light pick so I thought I had a burr around the bridge. I sweat a lot performing (Arizona) so I change strings more often than I probably need to.

My electrics I use Fender Silver Bullets but have been contemplating switching to Elixers.

well after a few weeks of playing with my new strings, I think I'm pretty satisfied with them, I like them more than the ones I had before (GHS .010)

The only thing that kind of bothers me is that I forgot to say to the guys from the music store to re-adjust the truss rod, because I put .011s and I get a minor fret buzz sometimes!

I would get that seen to Rose, it shouldn't be too difficult to adjust :)

I do use D'Addario 10s and I'm happy with them.
A friend suggested trying Ernie Ball 10s as well.

The best strings for any acoustic that i've found is Elixer polyweb 12's or Ernie Ball coated 11's. They are both a bit pricey but they do last alot longer than anything else i've tried.
