Switch brands now and again when your acoustic gets "too used" to a brand of string.
Good advice from Tommy Emmanuel re stringing your acoustic....

We've been lucky enough to see him twice at a smallish theater in Dallas over the years Wood. One night, for an encore, TE asked for requests, and I blurted out "Those who Wait"! We were very close to the front, and my wife punched me for screaming too loud, so I know he heard me.........then out it poured!

Big Tommy Emmanuel fan here too, and I try to never miss him when he comes around. It can be a little depressing to watch him sometimes though, because it just reminds me how far I have to go!

What acoustic brand does he play mostly? I think it's homegrown, no?
Pretty sure he's still a Maton guy (made in Australia)

Since when has a guitar of yours ever had a chance to "get used to" a string type?

Yes, he and Keith Urban, both Australian, promote Maton (made in Australia) guitars, and TE almost always plays them, with an occasional Martin thrown in.

He did qualify that by saying it was just his opinion. Having said that, if somebody with TE's talent and vast experience, along with his amazing ear gives his opinion, who am I to question him?

I understand some dentists suggest switching tooth paste brands from time to time -- but then, that's just not the same thing I guess.

I saw a video once where he had borrowed a guitar student's GAD30 for a demo and handed it back to him and said "that's a really good guitar." I can find it.

Right?? I feel the same way watching Doyle D. That strange combo of deflated and inspired...
Yep! Doyle D, too.
