    Wore out my first set of strings so restrung with light gauge D’addarios. Now I need to find the wire cutters and give it a short back and sides.

    Great job restringing @Moonhare . Many great musicians choose to just leave the whiskers after a quick string change during performance.

      Surprising how different it feels. I think it came with coated strings which were easier to slide but harder to get pull offs. I didn’t realise it would make so much difference.

    Very nice @Moonhare

    You just have to get it a little trim, and you are good to go again. A beautiful guitar by the way! I love the colors.

      Thanks – it was my present to myself for 50 days of TAC. Tobacco sunburst is stunning.

    @Moonhare Next time try a set of Santa Cruz strings. I think you would be amazed. It’s pretty much what I use on most of my guitars.

    It’s best to clip those long strings before you poke an eye out.

      😂 I hadn’t thought of the helath and safety aspect! All safe now though.

    @Moonhare I felt so accomplished changing my strings for the first time. I had those coated strings too and completely shredded them! 💪🏼 Sounds like a new axe with different strings- new, yet familiar! Enjoy!! 👍🏼
