After many years of using D'Aquisto Nickel plated strings on my Gallagher DW and D'Addario Phosphor Bronze on my Gibson J-45 I have moved entirely to Elixir Phosphor Bronze Nano strings on these and Susette's Gibson L-48 and my '31 Supertone.
    Perhaps there have been improvements in the tone and feel over the years, this being 2012, I don't know. But I get those 'best three days' one associates with Phosphor Bronze and Nickel plated with the Elixir and many more days of nearly equal tone. I find the texture and feel of the strings to be superior also.   
    In fact, on our guitars there is a noticeable increase in warmth and depth, even more so on the Gallagher, and less so on the Supertone which is all birch and a less responsive tone wood, I believe.
