E3OM DLX - Which strings?
#1
Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum, so before asking my first question, let me introduce myself. I'm Ale, writing from Italy. I've been playing the acoustic guitar for a short time, and when I went to a store to look for my first serious acoustic guitar (I was planning to buy an E2OM), I fell in love with the E3OM DLX. It's beautiful, sounded great even under my inexperienced fingers, and I immediately brought it home.
 I've been playing it for a while now, and I'd like to change the strings. The ones it came with aren't bad (they should be the original ones, so according to the manufacturer's website, they are D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053)), but I'd like to achieve a warmer tone and, if possible, have slightly thinner gauge. I know these two goals might be at odds, but who knows... Oh, what do you think about silk and steel strings?

Welcome and congratulations on the new guitar. Here is a link to various GHS strings - https://www.ghsstrings.com/products?categories=acoustic. It may give you an idea of where to start. I have found 80/20 and 85/15 type strings a little warmer. But that is just me. Finding what fits best for you and the new guitar should be a fun journey. Good luck.

Ale - I echo Tom's welcome to the EGF.. I  am afraid my knowledge of things strings is pretty minimal so can't offer much advice, other than to agree with Tom that you are embarked on a fascinating journey. Good luck and do keep us informed of your progress.  ps a pic or two of your guitar would be good if possible,

I can't recommend the Santa Cruz low tension strings enough. They are truly magnificent, with the specificity of distinguishing the gauge (which is not even mentioned) and the tension. Their only flaw: the price...
