Thanks for this topic. I've got an Epiphone acoustic PR150VS. Not a very expensive guitar, but I liked the sound of it when I first played it. Went back a few weeks later, and bought the same model, but obviously not the same one on display the few weeks before. I don't think it sounds as good, but it may be just me. Any thoughts on that?
Anyway, to stay with the original topic: strings. You say you like the Elixir Phosphor Bronze, Light, Acoustic, coated. Are you speaking for acoustics, electrics or both?
Also, the strings I currently have seem to be Light, and as a consequence, I often find the e-string (high 'e') bending down and off the fretboard, when I'm not even trying to bend. Is this a problem with the light guage? What guage would you recommend for the high e?
One more question. As a general rule, should a new guitar be taken in for setup work? And if so, would you take it to those from whom you bought it?
Mine came from my local Guitar Center.
Advance Thanks for your comments.
PS) perhaps some of this should be in another forum?
