Thanks again.
They are a great feeling string I'll admit that...nice and smooth. And I'm sure they last months (not for me though... I took them off after 2 days). But I hear too much jangling... almost like a room full of instruments all playing slightly out of tune.

A Martin is supposed to have a certain vintage sound to it. And the Elixirs made it sound, well, not like a Martin should. Sorry I can't describe it any better.
