Part Two of the String Question. What type of strings do you prefer on your primary acoustic guitar? Or, if you could only buy one type of strings, what would they be?

Can't really answer this as i've only used non coated phospher Bronze, so no preference as I haven't tried others and as I don't know what coated ones are like to my touch can't answer that way either

To me, there is a HUGE difference between coated and non-coated strings. Non-coated feel rough and dirty where coated feel smooth and slick. I'll never go back to non-coated again unless its the only thing available. And even then...

I agree with you Andy,I used coated for the first time when I got my Col Clark electric,they came with the guitar and they are so smooth,I probably would never have tried them due to the extra cost but I'm now a convert.nice and quiet when sliding between chord's too.

Mark- I think all "coated" strings are Phosphor Bronze. I looked at Guitar Center's website and I couldn't find any listing for any coated strings other that Phosphor Bronze. If there are coated strings other than PB I should add a category.

I'll edit the poll to make this more clear! Thanks! :cheer:
