Well, thanks! The OF660 is not super picky about strings like the RainSong I once had. On the Journey strings can sound from just okay to great, Aluminum Bronze being in the "great" category. My issue with them is the way they feel and that they turn my fingers black. I can't put my finger on why they work so well on the OF660 can you?



The Journey shipped to me with Elixir PB lights and I liked them- more than I thought I would. I find the Journey on the quiet side and actually lacking treble response (or maybe overwhelmed a bit from good bass that belies its size?) Someone here recommended Elixir HD Light, so I have a sets of both 80/20 and PB on deck.
