The twist is the orange oval label inside. it's a different serial number entirely! (A 315068) Does this make sense to anybody?

I put Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze strings on it....and now I feel like it lost it's warm tone. Especially on the higher E and B strings. Can anyone recommend strings that will give me the darker warm tone that I'm looking for?
