.13 which is medium gauge. It can hold until this.

BUt I recommand .12 light gauge. Any lower is not recommanded. Any lower gauge will sound dead. For fingers friendly and fuller sound, I suggest .12 which is light gauge.

ok, how about brand? I don't know other than Elixir, D'addario and Ernie Ball.

Personally prefer Martin Lifespan Sp and elixir nano. Martin has warmer sound compared to elixir based on my own experience. But elixir last longer. Gain and loss.

But the way.. 80/20 has brighter sounding than pb coated strings. But 80/20 has shorter lifespan.

I'll see what string does the local shop nearby have.

Aih, now I don't know what is the problem causing buzzing at my D string..sounds like at the 1st-2nd fret making the buzz but at the same time the pins too is suspected making the buzz. Any idea how to check the parts causing the buzz?

How old is your guitar?
May be the action or maybe the frets,
worse case scenario you need go for refretting tongue.gif

still new, bought it 2 months ago. It's the nut problem, or maybe worst the saddle cause I changed both to bone.

kimirockz,

I've been raving about Morrisons when I get the chance. They generally make cheap guitars, so there are ones which are about 150 or so... I would advise you to invest in a Morrison that is a couple hundred more, to get a solid top if you can afford it.

Below are a couple of clips of me playing the Morrison. They sound pretty damn good for a guitar under RM1k.

Faithfully
