Great Sound with D'addario coated Strings

[AtlasHeating]

Last year a friend gave me a set of Medium 80-20 Coated strings by D'Addario.
I have used the phospher bronze before and decided I did not like coated strings.
I decided to put these on the L-03 just because.
All I can say is WOW!
They are not playing like mediums, they are playing like lights. They sound like mediums.
The sound is awesome. Lots of high end sparkle.

Same for me. d'Addario EXP12s are my benchmark string that I'm using most of the time.

 Trying different strings is the only hobby I can still afford. In the end I always seem to come back to D'addarios. Other strings are brighter or warmer but D'addario's have a nice natural sound which works best  on my Larrivee.

I have to say I thought the EXP's that came on the Forum guitar worked well with it.  I've got Curt Mangan P/B medium lights on it currently.

I find it ironic that I really like MARTIN SP phospher bronze strings on my LARRIVEE!

-12s eh? I've been using the EXP-16s mostly - I'll have to check out the -12s -  In general though, I've liked the EXPs, although they seem to take a little longer to "break in".

The EXP 12 are bright bronze medium gauge. That's what I have. Mighty Fine.

  on the D'addario EXPs!

Guitar Center offers 10 sets for 99.99 with a free guitar (you pretty much get what you pay for, but hey...it's great for kids or a beach beater) a couple of times a year.

They sound great and last a good while to boot...I keep lights and mediums on hand at all times.

Buy the strings and they throw in the guitar?  Sheesh - the world is a little upside down, isn't it - but I guess I could donate it to the local school if it could get set-up and playable -

  My SD sounds great with EXP 17 Mediums - warm,bright and balanced, pretty much the characteristics of a Larrivee guitar...
I also have Lights on my LV and Walden. Great strings, and the best of 2 worlds.
