my piece of crap acoustic fender

worst guitar ever made in the world, but i've done all the recordings i've posted on it

we will be upgrading that this summer

i was playing ghs vintage bronze 13's on there and it was either get coated or get smaller strings because it was getting tough to play...so i opted on the elixirs because of ya'll

I'm a big fan of Elixirs...but also a big fan of EXP's. I can never decide. I think it depends on how lazy I feel when I buy strings cause the Elixirs will last a loooooong time.

I really wasn't a big fan of the Exps.

Elixirs just seem to work for me

Ive used polys once and then nanos after and Ive always bought nanos since, I like them more, and Im pretty sure my taylor came wiht medium lights, so if they make those, maybe try them next time, cuz I really like them, unless its just the new guitar

well, after 5 minutes i can already tell that they feel like about 11's in how easy they are on the fingers and playability, compared to ghs 13's...hmm, so far so good

I'm not a big fan of the Elixir tone. I do enjoy the reduced squeeking you get, but I prefer the uncoated tone.
