Hey all of you Martin 15 series owners......

I need a new set of strings on my 000-15. I was wondering what you guys were using. I have a couple sets of Elixers left but I wasn't sure if I wanted to put those on or not. I want to keep that deep woody tone intact. Just curious to see if uncoated strings would sound better on it than coated.

Haha, you said woody!

anyway, i'd suggest picking up a set of d'addario ej17's(mediums) for a nice warm bassy tone.. go to lights or extra lights if you want more treble. Other then that, i'd say it's all personal preference

Yea, no woody here though. I'm at work. :wink: I'm leaning towards uncoated strings. That's what's on there now and I really like the tone.

I currently have EJ16's on my D-15, and I like them enough to recommend them. I may end up sticking with them from now on.
