Going with silk and steel strings first.To tame your guitar Al try experimenting with different bridge pin material with either a full replacement or just on the high strings . Many have used that concept to tame thier guitars ��
I ain't such a fanatic that I want to start with bridge pins, besides which they're usually sought to increase the properties I'm looking to decrease, besides which I HATE "experimenting" when it's gonna be tantamount to a string change.
And actually if you listen to the take in "Maple: Does the Angle Affect the Jangle?", there's good bass response (from the right angle) as you mention, it's only the trebles I'm looking to tame.
Plus it's got vocals.

Oh yeah also the factory pins have abalone dots, plastic though they may be.
Y'gotta remember I've been a purist for factory stock up until about a year ago, or maybe 5 or 6 years ago when I started running .11's instead of .010's on it.
And THAT only because the .010's shredded my fingernails (and I could bend 'em right off the fretboard)!
In fact even the .11's still do if I'm not real careful.
If I coulda found anything with .12's with low enough set tension I woulda started there instead of the s'n's.
Guitar was built for .010's.
