re: Got a new guitar recently. Question on strings size and coated/not coated

Usually stay out of electric guitar threads.


However


I've always heard it's up to the guitar and you have to listen to it (for what's best). With acoustics it can make all the difference in the world. Making you go from not wanting to pick it up, to not wanting to set it down. I'd say try different one's for size and different brands next, followed by maybe even metal mixes. It's one of the cheapest things you'll buy to find your sound... next to what pick to use.
