    @Tapley_Tinsmith string selection can be a pretty subjective preference… It really comes down to what your ears prefer to hear. It depends on the guitar, the player and the genre of music as well. Learning your string preferences is a journey for sure. My best advice is to start out with the same strings that the manufacturer placed when the guitar was first made. You can usually find that in the specs for any specific guitar. Play those for a while, then definetely experiment with other types of strings. Coated, uncoated, PB, 80/20, lights, mediums, etc. I think different guitars are more suited for certain strings. So try out a few different kinds on each guitar you own and let your ears lead you to your favorite ones!! (I lean towards D’Addario J16)
