What kind of guitar strings should i buy?
I have an Ibanaz Artwood acoustic guitar and a Washburn Electric guitar and i have to take extra strings with me to college, the thing is ive never bought guitar strings before and im not sure which brand is good? thank you for letting me know.
D'Addarios are good strings. For years, I've used Dean Markley medium bronze strings on my acoustic and I like them a lot. A couple of the guys in my bluegrass band really like Elixir coated strings on their Acoustic Guitars; they seem to last a really long time without going dead.
In my experience, most string brands really aren't that different from one another. The things that make strings sound different from each other are the materials they're made of (phosphor bronze wound vs bronze wound vs brass wound vs nickel wound vs coated, etc) and the thickness or gauge of the strings. So, as far as I can tell, medium-gauge phosphor bronze strings, for example, all sound pretty much alike no matter whose name is on the package.
So the strings that you should buy are the ones that sound best on your guitars. Fortunately, strings are cheap enough ($5-6 a set for most brands, Elixirs are more money, maybe $12 a set?) that you can buy a couple of different sets and try them out to see which ones you like best. Phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings, I think, have a bit brighter sound than bronze strings which sound warmer. Nickel wound strings are mostly used on Electric Guitars I think. All else being equal, medium gauge strings will give a bigger, fuller sound than light or extra light strings, but they're correspondingly a bit harder on your fingertips. If you play electric lead guitar you'll probably want light or extra light gauge strings to make string bending easier.
If you play/practice every day, you should probably be changing your strings every couple of months or so at least. If you plan to be playing a LOT in college (like if you're a music major studying guitar) you should think about changing strings monthly. You WILL notice a significant difference in the sound of fresh new strings vs old dead strings.
