I have just put a set of Newtones on my old Fylde Orsino -sounds fine, the jury's out on how long they last. It's odd how different strings work for different guitars tho. My Martin DX is great with Martin SP and not much else (normally I wouldn't use Martins - never had a guitar,til the DX that I liked them with). My Seagull 12 string is great with Elixirs (this may be due to their long life as I hate changing strings on a 12 string guitar)but my Fylde doesn't go with Elixirs (usually good with DR).normally I don't get on with d'adarios, except that their coated ones work well with the Fylde. Aint life confusing.
choice is a fine thing, I think!!
