Cordoba Fusion 'complex' strings

[DoryDavis]

I've got a Cordoba Fusion 12 'natural' 12 feet cutaway. Good action, good value. Not inspiring. I've got high tension strings on there now, I think Proarte. My question is, are there any recos for strings that would bring more complexity or personality to this guitar? Is that even a valid hope? Nothing wrong with it, just kind of vanilla now... thanks

My Fusion 12 Orchestra CE came with Savarez Cristal Alliance High Tension 500AJ which sounds ok.

It's a $900 guitar. Not sure if a string change will bring it up to $2,000 though. I'm curious as to what other players use on their crossovers too.

My string thoughts so far on Cordoba Orchestra Fusion:

Savarez Corum Alliance High Tension (as supplied by the factory on the Cordoba crossovers)

Comments:
Trebles don't have the edge I'm looking for and the bass strings wore through the outer wraps fairly rapidly.

D'Addario EJ46TT (hard full set)
Pro Arte Dynacore basses combined with titanium trebles

Comments:
Basses have a beautiful and full tone and the wraps seem to be much more durable than the aforementioned Saverez Corums. This set has much clearer treble strings, although the third string is a bit rounder in tone than I would have liked. The trebles took a full week of tuning before they finally stopped stretching, which seems a bit long to me; they dropped a full step each day during that time. Be aware that you must ensure that there is a good string lock loop for the treble strings as they are fairly slick. I was aware of this before stringing and made sure I locked in a manner that ensured that slippage would not be an issue.

Planned for later experiments:

D'Addario EJ46C composite basses (hard) combined with T46 titanium trebles (hard)

Galli Genius Titano GR40 (hard full set)

I’ve been pleased with La Bella 2001 Classical on my GK Studio.

This set is a little expensive, but I think they are livelier than most:

Also, Augustine Red or Blue basses combined with a number of fluorocarbon
treble sets (Hannabach, Knobloch, or maybe others) might move the sound
in a better direction. I think the real answer is in a guitar that suits its player.

They're pretty pricey at least here in the UK, but I'm interested to try these:
