Elixirs, first choice. Bought a year's supply (three sets!) and have 'em on my main guitar (D-28). Also very much like the John Pearse strings, and have them on most the other guitars (except the classic, which has GHS or Martins on it).Bought a set of the Tomastiks for the archtop, but haven't changed 'em out yet. We'll see how they sound and feel.
