so i just changed my guitar strings, and I decided to try light strings instead of regular ones

the sound is brutal, the chords sound so bland and... metallic.. not sure how else to describe it

so i'm going to change my strings again, but i was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on what types of strings to use to get a nice full soft sound from chords

any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Where did you buy your strings and what guitar do you have?

I can't remember where i bought them, it was a random music store

but my guitar is: Jasmine by Takamine ES45C Acoustic Electric

i don't ever use it with my amp though

takamine

I use Elixer Nanoweb
Fucking delish sound

Ontopic - Are you using a thick plectrum? I.E. one that doesn't bend at all?

nope i can bend them



yeah i like my guitar, i suck though still learning

elixer nanowebs are they expensive? i really don't want to pay more than like 20 bucks for strings

ernie ball hybrids
i use .09-.42, super light but i love em

oh just saw youre playing acoustic
i use d'addario for acoustic

Why don't you just ask what type of strings he is using?

what type are they?

no idea, all i know is they said light on the box...

don't have the box anymore.. but regardless these strings suck!

take it to spaceman music if youre gonna go to ottawa for long weekend
they do a great job for a good price
i.e. you wont have to pick strings, theyll put a nice set on
