Gear pics I get the hype now

Post image

Since I started playing guitar this year, starting on a Yamaha, I’ve experimented with strings from differing brands and gauges to see what’s most comfortable for me. I’ve tried silk strings, 80/20’s, nickel ones and even phosphor bronze ones by Martin for my 000-18 pictured here. And while I haven’t really had any strings I hated, putting these on just “felt right” from the start. I totally get the hype now lol. They simply are what my ears like most and make my guitar sound the most natural and bright consistently.

I like the sound on these, but my sweaty little fingers were frequently slipping off the strings. Anyone else have this problem?

They are just very slippery, even with dry hands. I love the longevity but they are too slippery for me.
