I'm a new fan of Elliott Smith. When I first started playing guitar, I watched a lot of solo guitar and vocals videos, and the YouTube algorithm recommended his.
I immediately fell in love with his music.
At that time, I already had my guitar, so it's just a coincidence that it's the same as his, a Gibson J-45.
I recently learned that the guitar strings he used were John Pierce. I purchased a set the other day and received them this morning and changed my guitar strings right away.
I was thrilled that my guitar sounded so much like his. New guitar strings typically sound bright and sharp, whereas John Pierce strings don't. They sound rounded from the start.
I could play my guitar with these strings indefinitely. In addition to his Gibson, Elliott played an inexpensive Yamaha guitar. I wouldn't buy another acoustic guitar, but I'd like to try one when I get a chance.
