I was wondering what are some good acoustic strings. I have an ovation celebrity and I don't really like the strings that are on it. Some people are telling me Elexirs. What do you all suggest? Thanks.

There is a reason that a set of strings is under $5. You can experiment with different strings. Strings are a personal preference and it depends on how/what you play. Heavier gage strings (bigger numbers) make more noise, but are harder to bend. Lighter gage strings are quieter but are easier to push down and bend. Do you prefer Nike's, Rebok's or Adidas sneakers....
same thing for strings. All strings are good, some just give you the sound you are looking for.

I love 'em. You can hear me playing on them on this tune my sister and I did called Departure. Departure

We had such a great time together over the holidays... it was sad to see her leave :(

I use Martin Acoustic SP Guitar Strings.....Phosphor Bronze....Light, .012-.054

The box is black and red. Check'em out....they're all I'll use on my Martin.
I tried elixer strings once and I didn't like them. But as someone else stated here, it's a matter of personal preferance.
I am a constant evolving music machine. Oh Man, I just forgot what I was playing. Oh well, on to the next song. :rolleyes:
