bought Daddarios and the guitar sounded awful....read another review on Daddario and the phos/bronze coated is not for a strumming dreadnought guitar which the dealer put on and said was the best.....anything for a sale...yuck...knew it...Martin and martin Marquis is all you need...the bonze sound from an inexpensive string bought on amazon brought the sound back on a 12 string.......dealers don't carry the inexpensive string that works.....please buy here and get your sound back with just plain bronze from MARTIN.........don't forget not to custom your guitar starting with these.....restring with large string on top and custom with bronze on the bass strings....
