String Prices

Whoever suggested DR sunbeams, thanks. Really good string. Got set of lights on F30R. I tried D’A XS mediums on BR and they are not good.

Interesting. That surprises me Wood. I LOVE XS mediums on my mahogany D1A. But again, I've always been a big believer that some individual guitars sound much better with a particular string..........that there is no one size fits all. That you could take 2 D25s for instance, and one might sound better with this string, while the other better to my ear with another. Just an opinion.

Oh my opinion on it is not important. If you dig them West, that’s awesome. I think I just don’t like coated strings. But I will leave them on BR as I never play it. For me, fine strings for a guitar that sits out on a stand and never gets played.

For an acoustic that I play daily, I prefer uncoated strings.

I THOUGHT I never liked coated strings either Wood. Seriously. I'd owned about two sets of coated strings years ago, and hated them. I stopped by the local music store one day and bought some of the XS strings, having no idea they were coated, played them and loved them. It was only later I discovered they were coated.

Maybe the ones I got (in $5 string bin) at GC were the XTs. Not the same as XS.

It could've been me. I love Sunbeams and use them on my two smaller body guitars, and mostly use DR Rares on my DCE1 and F44.

Thanks Plaid! They are a tad brighter and clearer than Rares but have a better finger pad feel. Both outshone D’A EJ16s imho
