[kingsonick]

Shall I needa fine tone the guitar first such as the truss rod adjustment before using this type of medium gauge strings?

[guitarsaddle]

@kingsonick if you are using lights and switching this to mediums then you might need to tighten the truss rod a little

I have a Fender Sonoran that came with the Fender Dura-Tone strings... i've had it since december and I'm thinking to change the strings now to the Martin&co SP MSP7100. Should I ? does anyone know anything about Fender strings ? for me they stil sound the same but I think my ears are just used to it.

Also how long do this Martin last ? (and by default the fenders :P) I'm gonna change to martin because they were a gift but I've never tried this brand.

@NevermindVzla I used to have a Fender California Series........and I traded it and bought a Taylor GS5 and I also now have a Larrivee L-09. The reason I am telling you this is that even with different string setups on your Fender, the sound quality will STILL not compare to an all solid wood body guitar. If you are worried about tone, you should probably upgrade from LAMINATE WOODS and move onto SOLID WOODS for better sound/tone quality. But if you know this already, disregard.

@sc12100 Oh man I just broke a 4th.

[NevermindVzla]

@sc12100 3rd I meant

I personally think Cleartone beats them all. I used to think Elixurs were great until I picked up a set of 80/20 mediums from Cleartone. They put Elixurs to shame.

I enjoyed your playing!!

I have a set of the new Martin Lifespan strings in the light gauge. I was a long time user of Elixir and recently tried D'Addario(i use only daddario on my electrics) and I was not impressed with D'Addario's acoustic coated strings. Hopefully these new Martin strings will sound and feel better.

[markusanger]

The Lifespan strings are everything you want in a string. They don't sound like a coated string and they last longer than I ever expected. The clarity is still there after 6 months and I know that sounds like a stretch but see for yourself. You will be a believer. 

[flammingcarrot]

hmmm I think I might try these... I've been using Elixir on my guitar... and well it's not as bright and chimy as before... they last long though... these might be a good alternative. They sound bright on the video... how do they compare with Elixirs?

[guitarsaddle]

@flammingcarrot they sound more natural yet woody and not as bright as the elixirs..

[JohnPerryMusic]

sounds great! i just bought a martin x series and it had elixirs on it im gonna try these now..

[Mcosay]

This strings are better than a elixir ?

[guitarsaddle]

@Mcosay Yes they sound way more natural and woody than the Elixirs...but the Elixirs still last the longest in the industry..
