Acoustic guitar strings?

[PFDarkside]

WHat do you use for your acoustic? I need to pick up some strings and I think I always go with D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Light Gauge. I think I've gotten the D'Addario EXP and they did last longer, but the Elixirs didn't seem to last long enough to be worth it. I want to say I've also used Dean Markleys, but it's tough to say...

Anyway what do you use? (And if one of the bridge pegs is broken is there anything specific to look for in an inexpensive set?)

I use and have been using D'Adarrio J17's on all my acoustic guitar. I get plenty of life out of them. They sound really good and I never break strings.

That being said Guitar strings are as personal as the guitar is. Experiment and see what works best for you!

I play .11 Vinci phosphor-bronze strings and I recommend them.

I'm not a big acoustic player, but I have settled on Dean Markley electric strings when I play acoustic.

I did that once when I had a ton of electric strings. I definately prefer the tone of bronze...
