If I could keep only one, no contest: my 2021 Collings D2H A (rosewood, Adi dreadnaught)

Re: Strings
For my new D2H A, I've tried Martin phosphor bronze, D'Ad 80/20, and Elixir Nanoweb 80/20, each in both light and medium. My guitar is only 5 months old, and it sounds a tad brassy with Martin or D'Ad strings. So far, I'm happiest with the so-called "Bluegrass" mix of medium bottoms and li...
