Best strings for a Texan?

Hi,

I'm no expert,anyway string choice is such an individual thing,but I do own a Macca & used to own an Elitist.

To me,gauge & wrap are the first considerations.I go for light gauge phosphor bronze-12's and I like more than 52 on the bottom-preferably 54.

After that I'll go for almost any American make and Rotosound are fine too.I also think most are way too expensive,

so I GO TO CLOSING DOWN SALES,BARGAIN BINS AND Ebay!

Tell us about your Texan!

 

Cheers,

El.

Lefty, I use Gibson Masterbuilt Phosphor Bronze or J200 strings on all my acoustics (generally 12's), so I haven't experimented to find out which strings sound "best," but that's largely a personal decision. I like the Gibbys so I stick to 'em. That and I have dozens of sets : )

 

I suggest you start with your favorite strings, and if you're not satisfied with what you hear and how the guitar feels overall, try some different brands with each string change.
