Hello,

I am very new to playing guitar, and so far loving it. I've recently traded in my enormous dreadnought (which was damaged and too large-bodied for me) for a smaller-bodied, inexpensive parlor guitar. I was aware I was trading out a warmer sound for a crisper/brighter one by getting a smaller guitar, but ergonimics. It has an incredibly bright sound that I'd like to mellow as much as possible with a new set of strings. (I know I won't change the sound completely by changing strings.) I've read a lot on here about Taylors and changing strings to mellow and warm the sound, but I'd love some recomendations on this especially bright sound and what strings people might recommend that are most likely to mellow it out. It's an Ibanez PN14 parlor guitar.

Thanks!
