I love Elixir Phos Bronze and Nanoweb lights on my Taylor 310ce. I can remember back in 2005 getting to play one of Phil Keaggy’s guitars (his Langejans cedar/rosewood florentine GC) after a show one night and thinking “OMG—I have been granted permission by Phil Keaggy to play one of his guitars! Don’t mess up!” As expected the setup was perfect. He remembered me because he signed my Taylor about a year before…inspirational.
I was never a serious guitarist or anything but have always been a fan of acoustic/classical guitar. There are two musicians (Rodrigo y Gabriela) who appeared on Conan O’Brien last night that I’ve been listening to for a couple of years after having seen them play. They are pretty amazing to watch.
Thought I’d share the clip as some here might appreciate it.
It really makes no difference what strings you use man. What matters is the player and his playing. As far as choosing strings, what’s most important isn’t brand, it’s gauge. Some guys like 'em thin and loose, others like 'em thick and tight, and some like them in between.
My suggestion is to go for the fattest strings that you can handle, and don’t worry about brand. Fatter strings sound better, fuller, more musical, and also fat strings break less frequently.
Now if I was forced to drop some brand-names then my favorite acoustic strings are Curt Mangans, followed by John Pearse. Curt Mangan strings have an exceptional ability to do whatever I want them to do, they sound smooth and balanced, and they sound great at every volume level, plus they’re resistant to breaking. Similar for the John Pearse, although I prefer the Curt Mangans if I can get 'em.

Sure that can be fixed. I once had a guitar with a similar crack, although it was a bit smaller and higher up on the shoulder. Take it to a good guitar repairman. He will likely align and press the edges of the crack together and glue a piece of wood against the crack on the inside of the box to seal and stabilize it.
