Hi, thought I wanted to see what strings people use on acoustic steel string guitars,
brand , kind and gauge and a number from 1 to 10 on satisfaction.
Just changed strings on my acoustic to Ernie Ball's earthwood strings gauge 10-50,
never had them before and never had a problem with other brands replacing strings until now, the balls on the end of the strings went very difficult ( litterally pushing with the string pin ) through the hole in the bridge, it looks like the rings at the end are to big, as to sound they are good, not outstanding.
grasping bar chords goes like a breeze but I always had 12-57 gauge before so that is probably the reason, as to playability, not so good, to much friction from the wounded strings.
My number for these is a 7.
