I am 75 and been playing over 40yrs. so trying to continue as long as possible. Lower tension helps quite a bit imo, my triple O is std. scale, 12 frets. Makes a huge difference as I play 4+ hrs. a day. Still take lessons!!
The Nano's were just a bit to thin sounding and more treble side for me, I like a nice bass and fullness, since I can no longer play dreads I try for the most bang on my smaller size guitars. SCGC strings for me have accomplished this.
I know they cost a bit more but I get a good 3 months on a set, could probably go longer but I'm ready to break the guitar down for a cleaning end to end and new strings by then. Jerry
Thanks, Jerry, I'll give them a try or maybe Straight Up Strings. I think they are about the same but 1/2 the price.
