Same here for my 000-15m. Switched a little while ago from D'Addario ESPs, and couldn't be happier.

I liked Martin Retro’s on my Guild M-20 but love the Newtone Masterclass round core Monel plated strings I put on a few weeks ago. Similar sound but the Newtones have that awesome round core feel.

Also trying the Newtone Monels on my CEO-7 (Adirondack top, mahonony back and sides). So far I like them even better than the Newtone custom round core nickel plated I had on them previously.

My suggestion is that you survey all these resposes and buy the three mentioned the most, then make your decision. My only all-mahogany guitar is a Taylor 12-fret 522. I bought it new, and like all Taylors, it came with Elixers, which I like a lot on other guitars. After trials of all sorts of strings, I've concluded, like most here -- Monels.

Cheers,
