Location: Orange County, California | Any good "hard tension" set will work, especially the composites, and sets with heavier trebles. If you want something unique, try the Savarez 520P1's. They are all wrapped e to E. The basses are silver over nylon. The trebles are plastic over nylon. the make allot of noise under your fingers if you're not careful when you change chords, but the sound amazing on this guitar. I also like the John Pearse Thomastics on mine. |
