I just strung the guitar with new strings. The guy at the shop sold me these things, and said I would be spoiled after trying them. I had never heard of Thomastik Infeld guitar strings. They make upright bass strings, cello strings, and that kind of strings, but guitar? They better be good - they were about three times the price of D'Addarios. Now that they are on the guitar, the guy was right - these strings sound great, and even though they are pretty heavy gauge (.013 to .053), they are easy to play. That's my small enlightenment for the day. Thanks for listening.

I've had Thomastik-Infeld Plectrum strings on my Taylor acoustic and liked them. They are low tension with a roundwound E string and flatwound A, D and G strings for reduced string squeak. I've got Martin Silk & Steels on it now and am trying different brands and types, but another set of Plectrums will almost certainly be on the guitar again someday.

My pro jazz playing buddy has used TIs for years. I put a set on my Casino (11s, with a wound G) when that was the guitar he borrowed when he caqme into town. I got used to them real quick. They have a very comfortable feel to them. I'll probably put a set (12s) on my ZBD next. That's the guitar that they'll shine on.
He's the Missing Link, the kitchen sink, 11 on a scale of 10. Honey, let me introduce you to my red neck friend.

I have just put Martin Cleartone 80/20 11's on my Epi Everly 180 and they sound great. Might put them on my Gibson 185 as well.
