dmccombe7 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I've just bought a Yamaha APX500 guitar on ebay as a Xmas pressie and was looking for advice on best strings to fit. I'm not a guitarist at all and there are huge choices out there. My own guitarist doesn't play acoustics ? Any advice would be helpful guys.

Ancient Mariner Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 You know this is the 'for sale' section of the forum? DR Rare Bronze are nice, but can be a bit subdued in the highs - not necessarily a problem with a small bodied acoustic. Otherwise DR Sunbeams have a bit more bite with pleasant warm and last well. If you don't mind spending a bit more, try a set of Elixir coated strings: many like them for their tone on acoustic as well as very long life. Gauge wise, if it's for a new guitar player then I'd suggest 10s to begin with, otherwise try 11s or 12s. I find 12s too heavy, but some guys demand blood on the fingerboard.
