The X7 is a truly remarkable instrument. My new X7 nylon string electric is the only guitar that I've ever considered as my only guitar.

Would that be like a dedicated wood guitar player just discovering the delights of carbon fiber? I guess you'd have to go back and edit a lot of posts.

I have tried most of those in your string collage, and settled on the Martin Retro's.
Playing on my RainSong HDR1000 Regarding the Martin Retro's: Med, 13-56,(if I was only strumming or flat picking, they would be the choice. Light's 12-54, Great tone but playing up the neck my hand/arm tires quickly. Custom Lights 11-52's, I use most of the time. Easier on my left hand & arm. I do have some extra lights to test 10-47 (not ready to test those quite yet) Of those other strings, I like the PolyWebs 12-53 The D'Addario EXP26 sounded and played nice but they faded fast in comparison to the PolyWebs and the Retro's. I prefer blueberry waffles as well!

Jim,
The bone saddle did balance the sound. It lost the boomy bass and gained lively trebles. Barb |

I use the Retro's on my CA, tried the Aluminum Bronze but they were way to bright for my tastes on that guitar.
