Guys, which type of strings do you prefer for Gibson guitar, 80/20 bronze or phospohor bronze? On the sites I was reading that 80/20 are more like traditional sounding strings and has thin layer of coating on it while phospohor bronze has quite thick layer of coating and has maybe less high bell like tone but leasts longer. I need to change the strings on my songwriter (rosewood) and don't know which to put on it.

I bet that Birdman wont hang his new hummingbird on the wall like that epi. 😛

Before I choose mine songwriter I was looking Taylor 214dlx sb like yours. It plays great, even sounds great, its beautiful guitar but 1350€ (price at that time) for a laminate, mexican made guitar it was little bit too much money. Thats just my opinion. 😊

Taylor and Martin are way too over-rated! Entry level taylor 300 series for example is 1800euros and above (new one), thats arround 2000$. And You dont even get full gloss body, just front plus its cheaper wood (sapele vs mahogany). Same is with Martin. D-16 and performing artist series are great but still, you dont have full gloss body and fingerboard is richlite and not real wood. I saw new Gibson J-15 going for 1100euros, thats 1200$ and you get full solid body, full gloss, great build in pickup and its american made with nitrocellulose finish! Than you have J-35, J-29 all not going above 1700euros.. Great guitars, all full gloss! In my opinion among these tree guitar giants, Martin , Taylor and Gibson, gibson has best prices. Most under-rated guitar company for me is Alvarez. My father have MD-200c. I played it quite long time and its great guitar! Retail price was around 1300$ at that time, he bought it over ebay for 800$ with great SKB guitar case, mint condition! :)

Thanks for the comments! :)
