Strings
I need to by some new acoustic strings for my guitar, but I haven't bought any since the days of Cathedral Strings and because it's only recently since I took up playing again, the need is there. I only play for my own pleasure and my guitar is nothing special. I know that strings these days are gauged, so could someone give me some good ideas as what to get, so I don't sound like an idiot when I go to buy them. Ta Muchly.

That's fine Sachs, but I only like the Moody Blues when Justin Hayward is involved e.g. Tuesday Afternoon, Watching and Waiting,..Sitting Comfortably, Hope and Pray, Never comes the Day, etc and I know he wrote some of these with John Lodge, but the Moodies wouldn't be anywhere without Justin Hayward; but that's only my opinion.

Ta Muchly for asking Sachs. I'm working on a couple of landscapes almost entirely in black, but there is a full moon and aspects of the landscape will be picked out in silver, as if the moon has shone upon them...like surfaces of stones from puddles, tips of foliage, etc and I'm also working on a semi-symbolic nude called Spirit of the Moonbather, where the back view of the nude is facing an open window to where a full moon is shining into the room...this will either be in black or prussian blue and silver and if you've seen my site, it's a larger and starker version of The echo or summat like it - other than that, I'm also hoping to do some works in pastel/grey colours or that kind of soft imagery thing, based on some piano music by Erik Satie - and then there's other unfinished landscapes about the place, just waiting for inspiration to get on with them...and these are in 'normal' landscapey colours...smile.

OK Doc, maybe it's me, the guitarist that is bog standard, not the Eko. It has no other name/writing on it other than Eko at the machine heads and I agree it is quite heavy, but has a good sound, but my fretboard is flat and I find the action a bit too high the higher I go up the neck - but it's okay, considering it's about 30-35 years old.
