what are the best strings for l-05?

[jones21]

  I really like the way the elixir strings feel and play,but they make my l-05 sound a bit bright or harsh,i would like a deeper and warmer sound if possible, any suggestions would be appreciated.

My favorite string on my L-03 was D'addario's EJ-16. They just worked with the guitar, like they were made for each other.

Have you tried the Phosphor Bronze Elixir set? Many report these to give them the tone (less harsh than 80/20) and feel that they need.

I changed my L-03 strings to Martin SP lights and they are perfect for the guitar

I just put some Martin Fingerstyle strings on my Morgan CCM it's very similiar to the L-05, i like them a lot very easy to play, nice tone.

they are my favorite by far, and I have tried just about everything over the years.

I used to play EXP-16, then EJ-16 on my Larry's, but I'm preferring Newtone Master Class phosphor bronze (bluegrass 12-56).
Probably worth trying a few different sets to see what does it for you.
Best of luck,

Which tire is better, Michelin or Bridgestone? :mellow:

[johbren]

[emmonsh]

med claptons choice.

Throw into the mix Tusq/Bone/Ivory saddle. In my experience, different strings sound better with one or the other, which has brought an almost absurd complexity to the whole  search for the ideal string!

Like I always say ... new ones.

Ahhh ... but what sounds best the morning after? 
(And the morning after that -- before the next string change?)

Elixer PBs . . . for the L-05

[PortHueneme]

I don't have this model, but I have been using med-light or bluegrass. (12-56) The bass are mediums and the treble are lights. I can still easily bend the trebles for some blues, but get that great bass of mediums. I have used many different brands and have not heard much difference between them. I do like the Elixr phosphor-bronze as they seem to last a bit longer, and I like the no squeek as I slide up the neck.
