D'Addario EJ16
Are these strings pretty good? Which would be better? Yamaha FG730s

Yeah, the D'Addario Phosphor bronze lights are an excellent set.
You could also try the coated version, "EXP-16". They last quite a bit longer. If you'd like to have a bit brighter, more "stinging" kind of sound, you could try D'Addario 80/20 "Brass" strings. In the same gauge. Those part numbers would be: EJ-11, and EXP-11. It's worth experimenting a bit until you find "your sound". "Acoustic light gauge", (.012 - .053) are pretty much to go to set for the average player. They represent a good compromise between good bass and projection, and ease of play.

Yes, I use them on my Takamine. I play 2/3 times a week and they easily last me about 3 months or more, and they're good enough to keep as spares. They sound really good, bright but with a good bass too. Use them for flat-picking or finger-picking and would happily recommend them.

Good strings, I use them on my yamaha too.
I agree with the Captain though, experiment with different strings until you find the ones you like. Have fun. |

Decent strings. Probably my string of choice if I couldn't choose coated strings.
