Hi , my name is Ray and I’m a stringholic
I’ve tried to quit but all my support friends use strings too
Earthwoods are best out the box sounding string to me , but don’t last long . Good for a show or recording session then toss’em .
Been through many brands of strings , heck have stacks of them lol
I Find D’Addario and Elixer Nano webs top on the list at the moment.
One pet peeve is squeaky strings meaning the windings ( I think ) are to coarse and slightest slide across then produces the most annoying squeak.
The D’s and Nano webs preform will in the category and have very good tone .
Each guitar is picky about its like in strings so experiment .
