Hi Tomo, I see in your book Guitar Wisdom what strings you use for electric guitar, what strings do you use for your acoustic guitars? Thank you for the info.

Thank you Serena for my guitar string choices.

1) I use EXL110 (10-46) or EPN110 (10-45) for my main electric guitars.
2) I use EPN115 (11-48) or Chrome ECG24 (11-50) for Fender Musmaster and Duo Sonic
3) I use EJ16 (12-52) or EJ17 (13-56)

nice thread. I mostly play acoustic but I really love:

Ernie balls aluminium bronze -mediums -12-54 gauge

They are such bright nice sounding strings

people always rave about the elixir nanoweb, I tried some thought they sounded duller than most strings and don't last as long as they claim, and they are also over priced in my opinion for what they are

Im Ernie balls for my acoustic all the way they are really good strings, reasonable price and high quality.

In. fact I need some new strings for. my acoustic lol avant changed them in a bit lol

I have been using Tomo's recommended EPN110 (10-45). And I love them. I had them on for a long time, and just the other day, I broke the high E string trying to do a bend. My first actual breakage while playing music. It felt like a moment to record for posterity. LOL

ahh the old string break!!! yeah its usually a sign to change the strings lol

Im always open to trying new strings, but I always keep coming back to Ernie balls as home base, they're just awesome , sound great and are fairly cheap

I actually recently put some Eric Claptons choice on my other acoustic, they are nice strings , sounded a bit tinny when they were first put on but now they've settled in I like them

I also broke some high e strings working on bending. I bought a bunch of single high e strings through D'Addario's website that I now keep in reserve.

Thanks Andy for sharing. I used to break high E string so many times then I don't break any strings after that.
