Yes I have. They are good quality, last long, but too bright for the sound I want.
Yes, I am in a box

I have a Martin D-16RGT, which is the same as yours, except with Rosewood for the back and sides. I use Martin strings on mine. They sound good, but don't last very long, unless you get their coated version, which are very expensive compared to other brands coated strings. I prefer D'addario EXPs or the coated Elixers, but I don't believe they come in the gauge that I like. Oddly enough, the only strings that come in that gauge are Martin strings.

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I still hate you, but you have a pretty good collection of nudie magazines.
