Heya Broken,

I'd think your acoustic would have a lot to do with the tone of the strings. I have a cheap Ovation, and no matter what strings I put on them, the tone is kind of dull. Some guitars are simply inherently dull in sound. I have a cheap acoustic (no-namer) that sounds great- to me. The balance of bass and top strings is pretty even. What gauge strings do you use now, and what model guitar do you have? Maybe if you post it, someone may be better able to offer a suggestion.

Funny that you mention the Elixirs- guess you may have seen my recent review. They sound warmer than I like on my electrics. I may amend my review a bit after playing them a bit more. Anyway, post the model of your acoustic- I think that can go a long way in members giving you ideas.
