what kind of guitar do you have? Did it come with the Martin strings or a different type? Just curious. I had martins and did not care for the tone on my guitar. It's why I went back to the exp16s. I did change the bridge pins to bone (the Guild came with plastic bridge pins.). When I went back to the exp16s, I got the tone I was seeking-just an enhancement of the original tone.
