For my Acoustics,Santa Cruz OM and my custom made Rudolph Blazer Souther Jumbo,I prefer the 85/15(copper/zinc ratio)bronze strings.For the Santa Cruz I use 12-54 and the Blazer gets 13-56.D'Addario and GHS as well as others offer the 85/15 strings.
Elixirs are shit IMO.The coating kills the mids and presence of the string.

Try the Pyramid 80/20 Round Core bronze! Best I've used since the Sixties!

I just bought another acoustic got the same model as i already had but a bit older, it arrived with new martins on. I decided to put some new D'Adarrio,s on my other guitar to compare them, WHOA what a surprise the martins blew the other strings totally away. So i think i will stick with martins for now.
