Default CHANGED FROM MONEL TO. . .

. . . D'Addario's Nickel Bronze on my GS Mini Koa. I love Monels, but my baby NEEDED these NB's.

Monels are excellent on the right guitar but I feel D'Addario NB's are more versatile and sound great on a wider variety of guitars e.g. Your GS Mini Koa up to my Guild F-412.



Loving these on this guitar.

I recently changed over to Nickel Bronze on my Seagull SWS. I'm really loving what I'm hearing right now. My guitar's sound now is alive, vibrant, full, sweet, etc., etc., etc. It has the right amount of jingle-jangle combined with a clarity that wasn't there before. Prior to this it was thin sounding and tight, hardly any depth at all. I'm not really sure what strings were on it before as I bought it used and the previous owner wasn't sure either. All I know is that now I can't keep my hands off it, where as previously I would play it for a few strums, shrug my shoulders and then put it back down and pick up my Yamaha. So for me it's a big thumbs up for D'addario Nickel Bronze.

Agreed. I've tried a number of strings on quite a few guitars, including Monels, and I keep coming back to NBs. I like the body, clarity and balance.
But this is like cooking- when is there too much salt, or too little? What's the dish, and whose tastes makes the call?
