That gets the big +1 from me. Some guitars just seem to respond best (and poorly) with certain strings. I have a buddy with a 70s Martin acoustic, and the only strings that he likes on it are D'Addario 80/20 Bronze. Not Martin, not Elixir, not Phosphor Bronze. It just jumps to life with the D'Add 80/20s.
