D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Medium gauge (.013 I believe) Neil has said he doesn't like coated strings and he changes his strings at least every other week. :cheer:

Yep, Bear is right.

I am pretty sure Neil mentioned EJ16 as the pack that he recommends. .12 - .53 is the size and they are Phosphor-Bronze.

Just had them put on my Martin last week when I had it set-up. I like them so far..... B)

Gentlemen, thank you, I just has to ask, as I was watching the TARGET free lesson - Here Comes the Sun-Guitar Solo, near the end of the video, where he shows the righ and left hand I noticed that the string tension seemed lax it made bothn both right hand and left exertion seem almost effortless, especially the right hand. Except for the sound, it almsot seemed as if he was playing steel and silk on nylon strings. Probably just his skill level that makes it all seem so easy. I know I sure struggle more that that.
Again thank you.

This is SO cool !! I bought strings over the weekend - pretty much randomly picked some. And you will NEVER guess what they are :lol:
