question for the guitar guys

My personal preference for all my acoustics are D'Addario's Phospher Bronze wound steel strings. I use them on my 6 & 12 string guitars as well as my mandolin. Just my personal preference though.
X3 here, I do not like their coated strings either, I put some on my 12 and they seemed like they wold slip on the tuner and were really hard to keep in tune. Also changed the sound, less bright, kind of dead... I ended going back to the regular D'Addario's.

I have not bought any strings in a while, last time I bought them was 20 (for a 12-string set). Ask for a deal, most of the time they will sell you a 2nd set for a buck. (at least around here they do).
