My hands seem to sweat battery acid and I rarely get more than a week or two out of regular strings before they're crusty and dead, so coated strings are pretty much a necessity for me.
I really like elixir strings for all my electric guitars.
On my Taylor acoustic though the regular elixir nanoweb phosphor bronze are a touch too bright. I wanted to give the polyweb version of the same, but it seems like they're no longer made. So, first I picked up a set of 80/20 D'addario EXPs by mistake (meant to get phosphor bronze) and they were comically terrible - zingy and dull at the same time somehow. I've since switched to Martin Lifespan PBs and they seem a bit warmer than the elixirs and sound good (although they don't last as long as Elixirs, I still get a couple months out of a set).
I'm thinking of picking up some D'addario EXPs in phosphor bronze to check if they're work better than the Martins. Anyone have any other suggestions for coated strings to try?
