Strings
Elixir Strings
- My favourite strings !!! I've used in a past D'Addario, Martin,
Fender, Rotosound and other popular brand strings, but from spring 2006
I am using Elixir 12 string light gauge strings, because wound
strings are wrapped with the exclusive polyweb coating, which gives the
strings longer life, fast fret action, and reduced squeak (010 010 014
014 023w 009 030w 012 039w 018 047w 027w). You can buy them from
