Is there a good coated acous string that's still brite, but less squeaky?

[Bejeeber]

And tastes great, less filling....

 

The Elixir Nanoweb strings maybe? I'd like to find something with good tone that would help with the problem of recording a guitarist that suffers from chronic loud finger squeakage.

The Elixer Strings do have good tone and less squeakage.

 

On a Taylor 710 with a Cedar board, phosphor bronze strings were too bright and fret buzz was too strong. The Elixirs sounded much better on this particular guitar.

 

You'll have to try them out.

I don't like Elixir strings and I'm not all that fond of any of them. With that in mind, d'Adarrion and Black Diamond coated strings are, to me, much better sounding than the Elixirs.

DR Strings has a coated string now too but I haven't tried them so I can't comment on them.

 

In any case, the coated strings do not last enough longer, if at all, than the DR Strings I currently use so the addition cost is a waste of money for me.

 

As alcohol_ says, try them all and choose the one you like on your particular guitar. And, realize that each instrument will react differently with a given set of strings. What sounds good on my guitar may not sound good on your guitar.
