Just got me another Epiphone PR-100 "Texan" (had a chance to replace one that was stolen, 8 years ago), and am wondering which brand of strings would be best for it? I'm already planning for 80/20 bronze, which is what I had on the one that got stolen (GHS Bright Bronze, medium guage), and will probably go with a custom light set, this time, and more than likely coated. The only D'Addario strings I've ever tried were phospher bronze, light and medium guages, and they never did sound all that good, and my only experience with the 80/20 bronze strings is with the set that was on my Epiphone that got stolen, but I do remember that set was finally THE set for that guitar.
The guy I bought my "new" (is a 1986 model) PR-100 from told me, this morning, that he'd "just slapped an old set on there, for shipping, and that I'd have to change them." Picked it up at the post office, this afternoon, and when I got it unpacked, I found out he was right. They'll go in tune, but beyond that they're deader than doornails. Now it's just a matter of trying to decide which brand of coated, custom light guage 80/20 bronze strings to string it with.
