Nicola Strings...

My wife's name is Nicola, so I had to try a set...http://www.nicolastrings.com/

Got the light gauge pb which is .12-.52 as the Santa Cruz needs little tension to really get top moving.

anyone here ever try them?


the Guild really needs medium strings to fully wake up, and my finger pads just cannot abide with that gauge. thus, i have essentially closeted the Br (ol Flattop) for an indefinite period of time. Hey, maybe in 20 years someone will post on the LTG:

"Scored! total closet find, Guild dread, uncrushed from Westerly, 70 years old, dude never played it..." etc

we can all have a laugh then.

Wow, and I consider myself fickle!

You run hot and cold on that old BR, Wood.

Neal, I LAUGHED OUT LOUD on that one!! You just never know with him how he's going to feel about the BR on any given day.

More like schizophrenia...or even manic. Woodman you need a compression pedal for your mind....

I've heard your 25 on vids and I honestly think you can't hear the beauty of its tone from where you sit.

The Br appreciates your encouragement guys!

Like any good wife she knows all she has to do is wait for you to come around again.

As you know Al, stories of my mental instability are greatly exaggerated.
