    You should have no issues with acoustic over electric strings.
    I get strings from the USA from a site called Strings and beyond. They are more than the Vincent ones, but you can choose name brand strings at a much more discounted price than what you get them for here - and if you wait for a special they occasionally offer free international shipping. I bought 10 sets of D'addario phosphor bronze strings for around $50 shipped and they take about a week.
    They also sell picks and other bits and stuff.

    Yep, I'm a subscriber to that site also. They have a special on strings at the moment. Buy 3 for the price of 2 on coated PB D'Addario's.
    Not badly priced.

    I have looked recently to see what the consensus is on the Vincent strings, last year they were an unknown.
    I'll do some more research.
    Acoustics:
    1995 Maton EM725C - Solid 'A' Spruce Top, QLD Walnut B&S, AP5 Pickup
    2015 Ibanez AEL108MD-NT - Laminated Spruce top, Laminated Mahogany B&S, Fishman Sonicore Pickup
