Hi all,
I've always liked the sound of nylon, as in "Behind Blue Eyes" on Townshend's "Scoop," if you know that one. Just makes for a nice change of pace. So I found a clean 1974 edition of the 1124 CA and like it a lot, easier to play for me than the conventional classic geetar with the wider neck. But fooling around with this makes me wonder how many folks play these with flatpicks, as opposed to just fingers. I'm also looking for recommendations as to string gauges as I'm new to this type of playing.Thanks,
--Ron

Nothing like the sound of a nylon string.
