Strings are as much a matter of personal preference as instruments.I
like the D'Addarios - They sound OK and last a reasonable time and are NOT bank busters when bought from Highly Strung.com, my mate Nigel.The last time I put Martins on my D35 it took twenty minutes for the first one to break!Yet I know people who swear by Martin strings.Lke I said,its all personal preference.
