Hi Bobby, Thanks for a fascinating story! My Godin is an Encore, and it doesn't have MIDI capability (the logic of putting MIDI on a nylon-string guitar escapes me). I tried the flats b/c the Godin's

Hi Juan. I would imagine flat wounds on a nylon string? Godin to be effective, as so many are using the Godins to drive synth modules and patches, and flats would probably track better. I'm a

Hi Bobby, I actually have Thomastik flat-wound nylon strings on my Godin & really like them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vccaJCkjz-U Catgut, huh? Talk about a "step backwards"... Hope all's

Tom, Even George Benson would probably tell you that $41 for a set of strings is ridiculous, even if they have his name on them... Cheers,JV Juan Vega

I've not sampled the Thomastik strings because of their price. The George Benson flat wound set at MSRP $74 and Sweetwater discount price of $41 does make me gasp.

WOW! a real thread! Thank you Alisdair! I always looked at it as you do - Up a string = vertical; across strings = horizontal. Perhaps your old buddy is thinking that chord clusters (which are

I play mostly chord/melody solo gigs (pre-pandemic of course):? with a dark/clean tone -no pick. So that's a lot of grabbing full handfuls for 2 hours and perhaps too much use of a lot of using

I've probably mentioned this before but I don't like the feel of the TS strings; they feel "tubby" to me and the cost is also a deterrent. I've been playing .012 D'A half rounds or flats forever and
