Just restrung the goodall

Can there be anything finer than new strings on your acoustic guitar? It sounds so good, plays better, inspires you to play it. Elixer nano web light phosphor bronze, with that many words in the name, how can you go wrong?

==================
It is better to travel well than to arrive.

    What else rejuvinates a guitar (electric and/or acoustic)?

    We have:
    New strings.

    I'll add:
    Freshly polished frets.
    New pickups.
    A new bone nut.
    A new bridge or saddles.

    Anything else?

    Is it Stringtime already?

    I'm a perfectionist, and perfect is a skinned knee.

    Some guitars are stuck with the guitarist they've got.

    new strings...... one of my favorite things....along with ....

    Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
    Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
    Brown paper packages tied up with strings
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
    Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
    Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
    Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
    Silver white winters that melt into springs
    These are a few of my favorite things

    When the dog bites
    When the bee stings
    When I'm feeling sad
    I simply remember my favorite things
    And then I don't feel so bad

    Nice choice. Love those on my Talyors, but I really like it when one of my strats has new ones. Restringing my Rick 381 v 12 is a nightmare though - with that headstock and that r tailpiece...

    I personally cannot stand Elixir strings, I just don't get why Taylor uses them as original equipment from the factory. Both my Taylors sound far far sweeter with Martin SP+ Phos. Bronze. But I guess that's why there is a choice

    Me either...I tried them...they sound good IMO but they*break* constantly with my playing style(and I don't dig into it THAT hard!) I have used Tomastik-Infeld Phosphor- Bronze for a long time and will continue to do so. Sound great and rarely break.

    Best,
