Hi, I have an Adamas (SMT-1597) and I wanted to know If someone knows what string it arrives with.
When I got it, It had a beautifull clear bells-like sound. Then, I changed the strings into Martin 4100 phsphor bronze which are light but now it feels much heavier (both sound and feel), some of the charm is gone.... :confused:
I want to go back to the strings it had when It arrived but i couldn't find out what strings do the company puts on it (or at least usually..)
If anyone could help me with that, i'll be greatfull... Other recommendations are welcome as well ;)
thanks.

DNIVGO,
Someone will probably answer your question but in the mean time, if you do a search for "strings" using the above link, you'll find that it has been discussed many times. It's interesting reading too.

Martin strings have a higher tension for a given gauge than most brands, which will affect the feel a little. I think Ovations now ship with D'addarrio EXP lights, but they may have been changed in the store.
