Default more on carbon strings...

lacatredrel:

As always you will have to buy some different types and try them. You are bound to make your own decisions based on the experience you have. It is difficult though to try to compare strings over what can be quite a long time (relatively speaking).

If possible record yourself to try to let the machine remind you what each style sounds like. I am thinking properly done it could conceivably take months to do a more or less 'complete' trial.

No doubt the guitar will pick it's strings!

I use Daddario carbon hard trebles and composite very hard basses. Here are couple of songs to hear what they do to my cedar/rosewood crossover. These are recorded with a Shure SM81 with a super simple chain and virtually no post processing.



and a very different song...


best of luck on your project,
David
