Re: String recommendation.
Well if you like the sound of those custom-mediums, and assuming the gauge is the main reason they are better, you might want to try to find some uncoated ones, they will get darker a lot faster. Meaning you could break them in by xmas. Closet set I can find are the EJ75's.
If the reason it's brighter is simply that the gauge of the higher strings has increased relative to the lower ones, the experiment could shed some light there. The EJ75s increase the lower strings by 1 too.
