oo i now can answer ur question

nanowebs are alot brighter sounding while polywebs are more balanced sounding
polywebs also reduce finger noise =]

looks like i'll be sticking with .11-.49
since my guitar is alr setup for that gauge =D


my friend uses elixir bronze on his acoustic light gauge .12 - .52
really nice
it really gave a new sound on his acoustic
his d'addario only sounded bout the same for 3 days
then it died, dulled out
=/

sorry d'addario fans

i use Daddario high tension for my classical . composite. really nice sound make so much different with the default factory strings. but a bit pricy, US selling so blardy cheap only lau ehhhhh.

it's around rm20-22.

i started out wih ernie ball. but they tend to rust on me pretty easy. same goes for gibson and fender. then some years back, i couldn't get an ernie so ended up with d'addario exl120. been using it since on my electric guitar. i like how twangy it feels . it tends to get warmer as the string ages, by my ear that is. last quite long too.

using ernie's earthwood on accoustic. great sound. but the wounded strings gets dead pretty quick. any recommendations? preferably something cheaper with less tension and same gauge.

or could it be that the string is slowly dying?

i will always use ernie ball as its a good compromise string.
sounds just warm enough, and most importantly doesnt break.

one of the warmest sets i tried was the fender bullets, but they break very easily.

aiyaa not like 4 months old la . about 3 weeks to a months old only. . usually last me for about 3-4 months depending on how i take care of em. most of the time the strings got rusty before it went dead.

just changed my strings to ernie ball power slinky 11 - 48?...first strings wad d'addario (no idea on gauge settings), the second was dunlop 9 - forgot edi....anyways..u guys mentioned that the higher the gauge is, the higher the tendancy for the neck to bend? mine is just a SX LP copy...will it break? alamak...fell like going home edi and change my guitar string...hehehe...just wanted to try the sound and fell of the 11 - 48 gauge...

i would still change strings every 3 weeks if i actually played often enough, now i damn lazy.

and rajautara, the neck wont break.
i use the same ernie ball 11-48 on one of my guitars also, you just need to adjust the truss rod alittle if you tune in standard.

well i'm lazier than u . usually only gets to play on weekend. workdays to busy already. in 3 weeks my strings usually still looks like new .

pheww...thats a relief.

thanks everdying...now i can do my work in peace

if i try something like 10 - 46, need any changes?
what are the common gauges for acoustics by the way ?

just changed my strings... now using Ernieball Super Slinky

darn.... my guitar sound so bright now

or is it because its's not fully stretched yet?

.12 - .52 is medium gauge
im guessing this is common?

play more and let it stretch..
new strings tend to be bright..

Me, DR Strings all the way..
daddario has failed me 3-4 times... sutpid stiff bass strings

anyone tried ESP strings?

Anyone know where I can get Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings around PJ ?

Harmony Music?

Currently using 46-10 regular slinky ernie ball, snapped them so many times during jammin that I have to put in new strings a few days before any performances. Starting to loose faith in ernie ball.. shrug.

i was just at euphony.. they only have 10-46 tho(i wanted an 11 set)
EDIT: only saw Hybrid and Regulars

you sure its not the bridge saddle or nut giving problems? cos its not that hard to constantly snap 10's.
