Delberthot Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 After several months of loving flats I'm going to be doing some corporate work with a 60s band so fancy having a go with tapewound strings trouble is that they all seem to be huge gauge requiring the nut to be filed to accomodate the strings and floppy. Does a (more-or-less) regular thickness, non-floppy tapewound string exist? I know how they make them so the answer will probably be no but its worth a try.

Regular gauges, nice tension and sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JellyKnees Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 The status ones are pretty good too, probably a bit cheaper than the d'addarios.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
