Location: SoCal | I'm with Jeff. And Jeff, I've gone back to the regular Elixirs from the phos/bronze.....
What do you have on your FD14 now? I'm finding that everything sounds too crashy on it. I'm thinking of trying silk & steel, but I'm open to suggestions. |

Location: south east Michigan | For many, many years I used only the Martin Marquis. Now I'm using Elixirs on my AD-II and UTE. I'll use up my stock of Martins on the trekker and balladeer.
Yep...they do last longer. Plenty long enough to justify the price. |

Location: Central Florida | I've used D'Ad EJ16s for years on my Ovations, but more recently, I've been going with Elixer nanoweb 80/20 lights. Gives 'em a little more ring than the phos/bronze D'Ad's. On my Martins, I like tha Martin SP phos/bronze lights, though I may try some Elixers on them too. For electric, I'm not picky as to brand, just gauge (10s). |
