ok im exagerating but it really is a fight between the dark and the bright every time.

it doesnt feel healty really.
vocals and stringy bright fingerpicked guitars never felt quite right for me.
am i alone?
have you tried any of nickel wound for acoustic or the Tony Rice Monel ( also nickel I believe) "Retro" strings from martin ? I think these are going to be my next strings to try.
