so i went to GC to get some strings for my acoustic and instead of Martins i got Ernie Ball Earthwood strings. Waaaay better than Martins. The sound it gives on my acoustic is awesome. I was playin the song "The Seeker" by the Who and my acoustic almost sounded distorted with the strings. Awesome sound quality. Anybody else use these strings?

What guages are those available in cos Ive been using the Extra Light Martins for my Telecoustic.

p.s. Check out Manic Street Preachers seeing as Stereophonic's float your boat bro.

I personally dislike Ernie Ball, but I am glad you found what sounds nice to you. :]

I've always used Elixirs on my Montara, but may consider these provided they come in the right gauge.

I used to use Elixer and Martin but since i started using Ernie Ball that is all i use now. The new Ernie Ball phosfor bronze coated are the best acoustic string on the market that i've tried. I think they have all sizes that the other brands carry and they don't break and last a long time. One thing though, has anyone tried the Red brand strings? I've seen them advertised in gear magazines but can't find a shop that carries them.

+1 to the manics

As reference, I opine copiously in the last post to this thread:

There's a lot there. Is it wisdom?.........Well.............Does the sand fly when a lizard pharts?

I have been using D'Addario for the longest time. But out side of gauge or real cheap strings I dont think I or anyone else could really find my brand if 5 guitars were set up with 5 different sets from other companies.

haha wow, i didn't think i talked about em in that thread
