2013 414CE FLTD

[burl51]

Just bought a new 414ce fltd rosewood ceder. Trying to find the best strings
Have d aderio's lite now but sounds kinda stringy. If ya know what I mean. New bone nut and saddle
want it to be a litte more chimey. the elixers are not my favorite either. My ga3 loves d'aderio's
Just lookin for some feed back from some 714 or 414 ltd owners

thanks in advance

I think if what you're trying to do is slightly attenuate some of the sparkle and goose the bottom end, try a set of DR Rare mediums.  Note that their mediums are the same as everyone else's lights, except that the low E string is slightly fatter.

Another vote for DR Rares - my 814 loves them.

Hi Burl,

First off, welcome aboard!  And also congrats!

OK, big-time lover of cedar/rw here.  You mentioned not liking elixir but perhaps consider this: elixir PhosBronze in medium-light gauge.  IMHO, these sound great with lots of bass punch and depth, but also a crisp top end that is nicely defined, particluarly when I had mine rw/cedar.

congrats on the 414ceFLTD, burl

i'll go somewhat "against-the-grain", especially with the bone nut & saddle, & suggest giving
a set of GHS infinity bronze lights (IB30L) a shot to try to bump the warmth up just a smidgen

Welcome to the forum. Try John Pearse 80/20 lights.  My rosewood guitars sound great with them.

+1 here.  PB medium-light would sound great.
