Which Strings Do You Prefer?
 

I just bought my Martin GPCPA4 a few weeks ago and I really love it. I am wanting to get a "you gotta try these strings" list together to begin exploring the sounds of my guitar. I'm listing a few different brands I have in mind but I know I will be missing a lot of your favorites so please forgive that and post your favorites in the thread. I'm looking more for brand and style suggestions, not gauge. I'm dropping off my guitar to have a bone nut, saddle and pins put in this weekend and can't wait to hear the improvement (it sounds awesome already) Thanks!

You can pick more than one but only pick one or two please.

Others: Wyres, Newtone Masterclass, John Pearse.

There are a few JP fans here, including me. ;)

John Pearse. I use whatever weight and material sounds best on each guitar.

Yep, JP & Newtone are among my top pics these days.

I've tried many brands over the years,and recently tried a couple of different types of coated strings.
I always come back to D'Addario Phosphor Bronze. They just seem to work for me.

I generally use GHS for both electric and acoustic. Not a big fan of D'Addario for acoustic.

I use, prefer and endorse John Pearse strings. They really ought to be on your list.
