NGSD, stands for New Guitar String Day, i just made that up, good stuff.

I like Strings and Beyond, occasionally they have free international shipping, and it's one of those days.
Always like to try some guitar strings, that i haven't tried or are not easily available in little old England.
So these are the guitar strings i have ordered.

DR Rare Phosphor Bronze 12g
Martin SP Flexible Core Phosphor Bronze. 12g
Curt Mangan Phosphor Bronze 12g

Anyone tried the above strings.

Still know where near 40 sets of guitar strings in my collection, (yet).

Faith Mercury, Parlour Guitar.
Tanglewood TW40 Sundance Historic, 12 freter. Solid Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides.
Takamine GY93E-Nat, Parlour Guitar, solid Spruce top.
Epiphone ES339, semi acoustic Electric guitar,
Fender Mex Stratocaster, White with Maple neck.
PRS se Custom, 24 fret, Mahogany back with Maple cap.
Tanglewood TW 45 Re Sundance Reserve, All solid wood, Cedar Top,Mahogany back and sides.

Must be 12-15 sets. Bought them on Strings & Beyond also.

Derick , I have never tried those. I'm not as adventurous as some with strings I guess - I tried the EB aluminum bronze a couple of years ago, and still have a set of those left, I've got a few sets remaining from years ago, Martin Bluegrass, and set of indeterminate origins (just the individual string envelops rubber banded together, no outer envelop or box with brand info) along with the types I use more routinely. The routine use strings these days are d'Addario EJ16 & EJ17, and Elixir nanoweb phosphor bronze mediums & HD lights.
I read about all these different strings, and think about them when someone like yourself talks about buying or trying them, but I don't stray out of my usual rut much...... I'm living vicariously through your experiences when it comes to string experimentation.....

In order of appearance:
Aria LW-20
Seagull Maritime HG Dread
Seagull Natural Elements Cedar/Cherry Dread
Taylor 418e
Taylor 514ce LTD
Trinity College TM-375 Irish Bouzouki

Greg Ballantyne,
My favourite guitar string for quite a while has been the Elixir Nanoweb PB 12g, but it's nice to try different makes and materials of guitar strings
As I'm sure you know, a different make and type of string, can make your guitar sound, quite different.
Buy using different strings and different picks, you can get a vast range of tones.
The last three Crafter Guitars that i have bought, the stock strings that they came with, are brilliant, they are not Elixir, but they are coated, and last a very long time, but i don't know the make.

Faith Mercury, Parlour Guitar.
Tanglewood TW40 Sundance Historic, 12 freter. Solid Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides.
Takamine GY93E-Nat, Parlour Guitar, solid Spruce top.
Epiphone ES339, semi acoustic Electric guitar,
Fender Mex Stratocaster, White with Maple neck.
PRS se Custom, 24 fret, Mahogany back with Maple cap.
Tanglewood TW 45 Re Sundance Reserve, All solid wood, Cedar Top,Mahogany back and sides.

WELCOME TO THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR CABIN!!!
