I used Elixir Polyweb lights with my 1585 and it's all I have put on the 2080 12er. (which I played plugged in with a OP Pro Studio at my parent's 50th anniversary and it was soooo rich). Anyway, any suggestions?

Personally, I like the Pyramid A338/12 best.

I used Ernie Ball Earthwood on may Matrix 12 string and they had a warm rich tone.

I am a long time Elixir user but lately I have used D'Addario EXP38's on my Adamas and Ovation 12's...I like the feel and the tone is very nice...not sure if they last as long as Elixirs but they do the job well...

For a while I used Thomastik-Infeld strings. They were the nicest sounding strings I've ever put on my 12strings. I miss them dearly, but these days I don't want to spend the money; Thomastiks are expensive. They're worth it IMHO.

Elixir lights. They sound fine and last a long time. It's a chore to change the 12's.....

I got D'Addario EJ36 80/20's on the T-12 (2058T) and they sound real nice.

Just throwing that out there...
