Gobsmacked by Elixir Phosphor Bronze

[dbf909]

All of my Taylors (including the Baby and the GS-Mini) sport PBs nowadays - except the NS32ce.  They just seem to round off the tone of each and every one.  I've tried many many different kinds of strings and always come back.

I was really anxious to try out the "Reds" - I figured if PBs sound better than 80/20, then the Reds should be even better since they have even more copper in their alloy.  Unfortunately, my first pack of Reds had a couple of defective stings and they sounded awful.  They quickly sent me a new pack but I have not yet had a chance to try them out - the Elixirs last too long...

Funny - I just swapped out some 80/20 for the PBs and my results on my 814ce are the opposite. Less low end - too bright really - hmmmm Im perplexed. I will give it some time however. I may move on to some D'addarios but might just go back with what the factory installs -80/20s.

Ive been chasing the perfect tone for almost 30 years. I go months with certain strings on my electrics that I like - as previously mentioned a great way to change the tone of your guitar. Also, pick width can form unique tones as well. Never ending really 

Happy playing
