I use both Elixir acoustics and electric strings.

The acoustic strings have been my go to since Day 1. I usually opt for the phospher bronze ones as I like the feel of those better then the Polyweb.

For electric strings, I have tried every kind of string you can imagine. I settled on Elixir 11's as I sweat a lot, and those strings seem to be able to hold up with that. The extra coating makes it so it can endure the extra acidity, and most importantly I really like how the strings feel and sound.

Hopefully that helps, and good luck! :D
