TrevorR Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 So I needed to change the strings on my Brook acoustic - a small jumbo with a lovely, lively sound but well balanced. Anywa, I decided to try some coated strings to see how they worked and for a bit of extra in-case longevity. Normally I’ve used phosphor bronze strings on all my guitars before this but I bought some 80/20 bronze Elixirs and I hate them. The sound is horribly mid ranged and honky both acoustically and through the LR Baggs Dual Source pickup system. As I just DI straight in pulling back the mid on my EQ isn’t an option and the pickup system just has Vol and Piezo/Mic blend onboard. So anyone had experience with more mellow, even sounding coated strings? Should I try the Elixir Phosphor Bronze strings? Or is there another brand/type you might recommend for a nice, even, mellow sound. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Trevor, I've strung plenty of acoustics of late with D'Addario strings and the customers have been very happy. Actually not the coated variety though, so no help, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
