Regular D'Addario's & GHS have always been a safe bet, and if you want consistency and decent performance IMO, then Martin's. However, I find them lacking in brightness and punch compared to D'Addario, so had to buy the more expensive Martin Marquis series, and finally gave it up due to cost.

I have been looking at new guitars lately; always felt that most reputable ones come with D'Addarios from the factory, now I see some Elixir Nanowebs making a presence on new guitars, I think it was on Godin/Art & Lutherie acoustic guitars. Good for them, if that's the case. 8)]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/recommended-acoustic-strings/#post-344040 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/recommended-acoustic-strings/#post-344039 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:47:53 +0000

I use Rotosound Country Gold, because they're unfailingly reliable, reasonably priced and they sound good on my guitar. And that's the crux of the answer really, you need to let your guitar tell you what strings it likes. Try half a dozen different brands, then decide.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a dependable set of strings for a steel string acoustic? I'm not looking for top of the line strings, just want a reputable dependable string.


Thanks,
