re: What acoustic guitar strings do you like and why?

I'm not trying to kick dirt on the Elixirs. I used them for years and they're the strings that come on new Taylors. So they can't be too bad. I just like the D'Addarios better. I think you were the one that suggested them to me.

Another string that I used to like a lot are Martin Marquis. John Pearse are good strings and I recently tried a set of GHS Americanas on my resonator and I like the way they sound too. In a word: rustic.
