I might have an early ‘70s Mustang on its way in the not too distant and wonder what strings other BC’ers recommend?
Should I avoid flats as many manufacturers state ‘not suitable for string through body’ and bearing in mind the extra length on account of going through the body, would all short scale strings (flats or rounds) be long enough? The picture shows what I imagine to be a short scale set fitted - if these had silk windings, the E string nut and heading towards the first fret would be silk!
My preference would be a set of nickel roundwounds - lightish gauge.
Any recommendations out there please? Thank you. David
