Elixiers........I don't like them much for anything other than Acoustic. The only reason that I have them on the Taylor is that it just seems to respond best to them? In any other event I'd say the were over priced and feel horrible, but other's views may very well be different. The only reason I use the Martin Phosphers is simply that I get a superb deal on them when I buy in Bulk. I too prefer the D'addarios
