Best Strings for a Martin D28 Acoustic Guitar?

Dear Martin D28 Acoustic Guitar,

Dear Jim,

This reminds me of an argument I had recently about who’s hotter: Scarlet Johansson or Megan Fox. In the end it’s more of a subjective thing.

That’s how I see choosing which guitar strings to throw onto your Martin. A couple of things to ask yourself:

-You want coated or uncoated?
-Which gauge?
-You want phospor bronze or 80/20 bronze?

When I played at Sea World we’d go with a Elixir80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings. (Because of the saltwater–and maybe the dolphins.)

I’ve also used D’Addario Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings
–those are very nice. But I think my overall faves have always been the Martin SP Acoustic guitar strings. (Not just because it’s a Martin guitar.) I find them to be very bright and nice–and they don’t seem to break as often.

That would be my recommendation. But try a few out–and see what works best for you.
