Moraito Chico Strings? 
Does anyone know what strings Moraito Chico used on the Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso or any other guitar? This my first post, thanks for having me. And thanks for any information on this.

You can see him with black trebles on the 1964 Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso. Could be La Bella 820b? Though others make black too e.g. Luthier and D'addario.
Solera have photos showing the basses have red winding ends if that gives another clue.

likely it is Savarez basses and La Bella 820b on the trebles. That was an old standard thing to do I read about in an article in the 1980s I think. Luthier came along and many went with that instead, in the 90s. Vicente was the odd guy that liked basic bland D' addario for some reason. I experimented in the 90s and settled on La Bella 820 reds.
