IMG_5978.JPG I hate coated strings because they are dull and go dead fast. Coating comes off were the pick hits them, but I can't tell because new or old they are dead.
I hate those strings that are wrapped, then tossed in the package. My vision sucks, the stupid color chart is of no help.
Last and most recent is getting changed $42.00 for one pack. Yep that is true, Martin has these titanium core strings that are the next great waist of money a wait of hope. You will still suck if you sucked before. If you play great and put these on you guitar the thought of playing $42.00 for these stupid things will just pull you down and then you will suck.
 
IMG_5539.JPG I do replace them all like you do. Odd as it gets the number 7 strings hold up like nothing I have ever seen.
 
Not sure if one will see the pic, but here are some strings that are in the case of my 1938 Recording King Archtop. Black Diamond

They are a bad dream to me. Dublin had a music store that was the only one that I knew of. I made the error of telling the witch that owed the place that I had an acoustic guitar made by Shitboro. All she would sell me was those strings. I wasted flat wounds. I even bought a pickup thing that made it look like the Beatles JT 160 ! More black diamond strings. I am getting cramps in my paws and every thing is out of tune.

Can't stand coated strings or strings that are "treated" in any way to extend their life. Actually it has the opposite effect because I always hate them and rip them off as quickly as I can.
 
Dude that is a sound hole! Any hair? Nope and I been there after I lived on a farm dude.
