Location: Tampa, FL | Sorry, new to Ovation and this forum. Wondering which strings owners recommend for my now two month old axe.
BTW, this guitar has impressed me a great deal and made me a believer in the Big O. I also own a Larrivee and a Martin, and I'm finding myself playing the Ovation more than those two guitars combined.
I don't know if I should tell everyone else to help keep the demand about where it is, so next year Ovation will also sell their excess inventory as "re-furbished". For $799, this guitar has no equal.
Regards,
Mark |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | A simple search will reveal several threads discussing strings. You will find that there is no unanimity on string choice on this board, as that is really a matter of personal taste. I, for one, like D'Addario. The coated ones like the factory now uses lose a bit of snap up front but they sure last a long time. |

Location: Converse, Texas | AT the tour last week (LOVED IT -- RECOMMEND GOING NEXT YEAR) Ovation recommends Adamas 1818s, but the ship them with D'Ad Elixirs because guitar shops don't change their strings. :eek: |

Location: Fort Worth, Texas | I've settled on Martin Phosphor Bronze light gauge. This is for my Legend.
I was in need of some emergency strings, so I have two sets of D'Addario Phosphor Bronze to try out. May switch to those.
:cool: |

Location: Yucaipa, California | I use Phosphor Bronze Mediums on my 2001 and Balladeer S771..... I get them from www.webstrings.com very inexpensive (less than $3.50 per set) and if you order a certain amount they FedEx for free! :D
They are inexpensive enough to be able to change strings every month (more often if I play more) and not break the bank!
I have found them (IMHO) to be good quality strings, and certainly the equivalent to the "Brand" names selling for more than $10.00 or more!
