Beedster Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) No idea where I got these from but took of my gut E and A as they weren't quite as articulate as I'd like for my current gig. Surprised to find that these really sound good on my 4/4. Anyone know what they are, would like to try a D and G Cheers Chris Edited July 8, 2021 by Beedster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 The orange windings look like my Presto lights, but the ones I have are silver in colour not black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pete, hope all's well mate. Yep, know what you mean, but these are definitely nylon strings. I suspect they may be La Bellas actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsampson Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Looks like Presto Jazzicatos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Yep. Presto Jazzicato Tungenstens. I'm not keen on the D from this set. There's not much difference in guage between the D and the A, so the D has a much higher tension than the rest of the set. I liked the sound and feel of the G but just couldn't get past the stupid tension imbalance across the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Thanks guys, I've guts on G and D, having removed the A and E from that set on the basis of being rather muddy, and having found that these two Jazzicatos sit nicely in their place. I was wondering whether I should get a D and G. But on the basis of the above, possibly not! Thanks for your help folks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be 3/4 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very kind offer mate, many thanks, but it's a rather long 4/4 so might not make it if you get my drift. Much appreciated however.
