Hi @DanielC , my experience with strings is this: over time they lose their sparkle and become thumpy. They produce sound but it is dull or dark rather than bright. I don’t notice one day to the next but after few weeks it is noticable and the enevitable change is made and I think oh ya, there is the sound I want. String age should have nothing to do with tuning. Some folks like the sound of “dead” strings, some artists are known for this thumpy dark sound. The ability to tune them and have them in tune does not change but their tone does. Does your tuning sound off or is it the tone of a string (resonance or brightness) not match? Hopefully we can get to the crux of the matter.

Hi @nelsonb12 , in that price range I would look on reverb for Breedlove and Alvarez. Look for used, your money goes further and you get more guitar. Be mindful that a set up will/may be necessary but that is true with even new guitars. Have fun hunting! Don’t forget your local Criagslist market as well. Sometimes good deals are there too. Less frequently but every now and then you can find a golden crumb.

That is some relaxed strumming there @Alfred . NIce economy of motion all around.

Smokin Holy @Carol-3M-Stillhand , to this day I still drool over the economy of motion in your fretting hand. Ever an inspiration to me, you brought a little tear of joy to my eye as you acknowledged the 7th anniversary of TAC with the iconic LSET. Well played, well played.❤U

@JohnV said: “But I’ll disagree with him on them not going out of tune.”
Sorry for the confusion. I did not mean that they don’t go out of tune, I was merely calling attention to the fact that they CAN be tuned and probably stay in tune better than new strings which have a tendency to flatten as they stretch.

Some folks see a tree and some see whole forest. I can only see my piece of the puzzle but when I get together with others and look at their pieces of the puzzle and we work to put them together I can see a bigger picture.
