Does anyone have info on different strings and they positive/negative sides? And their effects?

The link in the source is something I’ve read before and agree with. Especially note the poster "hawgadi" on 05-14-2006, 06:31 PM. For your convenience, I’ll copy/paste it here, but I recommend reading the whole thread for extra info, e.g. some people recommend against specially coated strings because they’re essentially "dead."

=============

I kind of liken it to the Rosewood vs. Mahogany thing, in that there are very different interpretations or definitions of what sounds "bright". If you follow my description below, I liken PB’s to rosewood and 80/20’s to mahogany.

I have some rosewood dreads, and they are generally a bit bassier than their mahogany brother, and generally have more overtones, ring out longer, and to me are brighter through the trebles. The mahogany guitar is clearer throughout the register, with a more fundamental tone, which I think a lot of people describe as "bright". If you really listed to someone else play the different guitars, the rosewood guitars are brighter and sparkle more, but have more of a "wash" of sound. They are also interestingly enough, warmer through the mids and bass. I think the same is true of PB’s vs. 80/20’s.

The PB’s have more warmth, brightness and overtones. The 80/20’s have more clarity, a more fundamental tone, more bite and cut to the sound. But they aren’t brighter, at least not when they settle down after an hour or two of playing a new set. The difference between clarity, fundamental tone, and cut of both Mahogany and 80/20 strings and the overtones, warmth, brightness and sustain of Rosewood and the PB’s is something I hear described in a lot of ways and often the terms are swapped around. And different people hear different things and certainly describe what they hear differently.

I put PB’s on my Rosewood guitars and 80/20’s on my Mahogany to accentuate the qualities and differences of the different woods.
