I like D'Adarrio 80/20 Bluegrass strings. Heavy bottom and a 12 top. For some strange reason the 12 feels more like an 11 on my Ovation CL2079AX. The guitar has the deep contour bowl and the heavier bass makes this guitar smoke. I play a lot of JT's songs and these strings sound great acoustically and plugged in. That and they're inexpensive. I used to have an acidity problem, but I was a jeweler for 12 1/2 years. I had to wash my hands 25 times or more a day, because they had a gold retrieval system. Needless to say, the acid problem disappeared. So I started buying every string I could buy. I like these and the new Martin flexible core strings. The price is a big plus. If you play fingerstyle, try the Fred Kelly speed picks. Great thumbpicks and really comfortable after a few times of wearing them.
