I have only had my Ovation 257 Clebrity delux for a couple of weeks now and I'm a really slow learner but I feel like some of the bad sounds my not be my fault (probably is though). The overal tone seems high to me.

Any way I was reading through past post about some guitars come with cheaper strings and up grading would inprove the tone.

To tell you the truth I did not even strum the guitar before I bought it. Not knowing how to play I just picked out a color I liked. I went back the next week and talked to the salesman and was told that Ovations have a higher tone due to the plastic backing and that I was probably not fretting the string right.

Not knowing anything about guitars how do I know what to ask for in selecting new strings. There are a lot of brands. I may have purchased the wrong style guitar for the sound I would like to hear but would like to try some different strings if anyone thinks that would help. I have also read about a higher quality bridge will help. Again being a beginner at this I'm sure where to start.

My Ovation can also be pluged in but I will probably not buy an amplifer for a few months. If that makes a difference in the type of strings to purchase.

Sorry for this post being so long.
