In a way your right ...if you like it ,stay with it ..is an approach that you cant really argue against ... I would say that first , you have a sound in your head that you want to hear ... a kind of sound that you will be comparing things to ...A sound is difficult to describe .. some like a 'dry raspy sound' some a more 'round sound' some more percussive , etc etc ,, and hence so many guitars and makers .. have a sound that you like and try to see how the strings compare to it ... the trebles , are they loud enough ?, , bright enough ? strong .. do they ring on a bit ? basses ,,similar questions ,, too loud for the trebles ... etc ... many times i hear , people say ... ''I like the sound of that guitar''... why?? i ask them .....its not to catch them out , or say they're right or wrong ...its just to know what is the sound in there head that this particular guitar has matched ... in words as it were .. its a tricky thing and personal .... heres one I did earlier with some strings that D'Addario sent me .....is it right ...maybe .. http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=221320&appid=&p=&mpage=1&key=titanium%2Cstrings&tmode=&smode=&s=#221320
