I think the Warwick brand Black Label strings sound the best on my Corvette 4, but they tend to go dead quickly. I have also gotten good results on my Corvette and $$5 with Dunlop strings, and those last a very very long time IME.

I am totally sold on TI Jazz Flats. I will not consider anything else.

Rotosound swing66. If I still had my german corvette. (bubinga, ovangkol, wenge,) it'd also be enjoying dr neons.

sweet! thanks for the info guys, I'm mostly a pick player so I'll give some of those a shot and see what feels/sounds best. The ones on it at the moment just sounded kinda "nylon" ish and they aren't a coated string so i figured I'd see what you all thought. Thanks for the replies!
