Anyone have a suggestion for a brand of strings for my newest purchase, a 1999 JF30-12? I use Bronze Martin Marque on my F50 and like them pretty well.

Thanks Sam

I like D'Addario EXP38 strings on maple, mahogany, & rosewood Guild 12-strings.

They are coated, phosphor bronze strings.

I had a set of Martin Extra Lights on my JF4-12 for exactly one day -- too thin.

Replaced with John Pearse Light PB's.

Very much better.

I liked Elixir PB Nano web lights on my JF30-12.
D'Addario PB lights were also very nice sounding but I liked the long life of the Elixirs.
