keep offering up this kind of stuff. its really great for some of us! i know i really appreciate it.  |
Thanks so much for your support, Bill.
The Kraut is such a different guitar and I also have it strung up with heavies (14-59) whereas my Olsons are strung up with lights.
I think the fatter strings add to the "dramatic" character of the OM -- and this of course is having an impact on my playing. Makes me want to slow down and "exaggerate" nuances.
