I have no egoic investment in what JT plays. He can play Curt Mangan strings (ha ha) for all I care.

I just happen to like Adamas strings. To me they sound the best of all.

And that's all that counts. Use the strings that work best for you. As it happens, my guitar builder friend Duane Waterman happens to like Adamas strings a lot, too, and uses them on the guitars he builds when he can find them for sale locally.

I was confused by the chronology of events as they were reported on this forum, so I just wanted to clear that up mainly to satisfy my own curiosity. So I did.

In any event, we're fortunate to have as many excellent choices for strings as we have. There really aren't any truly bad choices - there are simply some strings that will work better for me than for you, and vice versa.

Anyway, no harm done. Your post prompted me to dig a little deeper, and that was a good thing.
