I also have a Hermanos Sanchis Lopez Negra Same here. Here are some really basic notes I took on some of the strings I have tried on this guitar: Hannabach Titanyl - Pros - sound/tone was awesome, the size of the trebles were perfect (almost a little too thin), quick tune. Cons - $18/set, trebles sounded dead only after about 10 days. Hannabach Flamenc 827HT the only notes I took on this set stated "Do not buy these strings again!!!!" Hannabach Goldin Pros - Feel of the string was great esp. trebles, Sound/tone was decent at first but they really started to sound great after a few days and lasted longer than others I had tried (1.5 months). Cons - took forever before they would stay in tune (2-3 days), Basses were a bit on the dull side. Luthier Concert Dark Silver 45HT Pros - tuned quick, feel and sound great, Cons - don't sound near as good on this guitar as any Savarez I have tried, seem to not sound as good after about 3 weeks. Savarez Corum 506J HT Pros - the best overall sound/feel of any string that I have tried so far, lasted about 5 weeks. Cons - just wished they would have lasted a little longer. Savarez Corum Alliance500AJ HT Pros - slightly better tone than 506J, same feel. Probably the best string I have tried so far. Cons - again wished they would last longer. Savarez Corum New Cristal 500CJ Pros - the best sounding trebles of all the Savarez I have tried, 'probably' my favorite string so far. Cons - what do I have to do to get a string to last longer than a month and a half? Savarez Red Card Basses & D'Addario T2 trebles These are currently on my guitar. They don't quite measure up to the Savares 500 CJs, but may give them a run for their money if they will last a little longer than 6 weeks. The tone & feel are comprable to the Savarez, at least to my ears. I have also tried the LaBella 820B & the Lutheier Supreme 20, but it's been a long time, and I didn't keep any notes on them. Guess I'll have to give them a try after the second set of Savarez 500CJ that are going on after the RedCard/T2 set that are currently on my guitar.
