I've found my strings nothing but smooth[/quote] Sorry if it wasn't clear: the sound is gorgeous. The problem I had was with the feel of them under my fingers; as stated, to me, the B and E are a bit too stiff. Perhaps with use they'll loosen up. I agree with you about "smooth", no unwanted noise from them at all as you move round the fretboard.

I've just changed from Roto Trubass to Roto flats. Only had the flats on for a few days so can't comment other than to say the G string feels like a razorblade. I'm hesitant to slide my finger along it for fear it may cut me. That said, it may just be in my mind as I've just come from the black nylons, which are much thicker. Black nylons: lovely and warm, great for the plonk, plonk, plonk parts that I play. One thing I will say about them is that the B and E strings feel very plastic. Hard to describe but it feels like you're playing a solid (but flexible) plastic tube rather than a string. I use my thumb so it's not too bad but it felt 'wrong' playing with fingers; there's very little feel/feedback through them. Lower tension so they move about a bit more, especially near the neck. As stated, I'm a roots-and-fifths guy; I think more technical playing would prove slightly more difficult than usual with these. I had to file my nut to fit them, too and, because the strings are thicker, there's less gap between each string, meaning you have to be more precise with your fretting hand. If you've any specific questions, just ask. Oh, should it matter, the silk on these is gold. Great if your hardware's gold; not so great with brushed metal/chrome.

Tanglewood: TW45, TW46, TW..erm, what shall we number the next one? And so, they did: [url="http://www.tanglewoodguitars.co.uk/products/acoustic/sundance/tw4749/TW47B.html"]http://www.tanglewoodguitars.co.uk/product...4749/TW47B.html[/url]

You're more likely to blow a cone using an underpowered amp. Just use common sense when operating the volume control. Also note that the speaker can probably handle more power than stated and the figure quoted includes a safety buffer of some sort.

Also, Free The Weed. ie, legalise cannabis (No anthropology lesson included)

There's a reason you chose GK over the other brands. Why? If you would have bought Brand X (the company offering you the deal) products but they were out of your budget, and the deal means you can afford them, go for it. Also, I always thought that the artist was endorsing the company, not the other way round.
