I do still have several guitars worth of the wire that was used in the '60's which is quite malleable, yet out wears the modern nickel/Silver wire by several times. It is quite difficult to impossible to install them flat enough for modern tastes, however, and I expect to die with the same amount I have now.

Thanks. I am building my first classical right now and am sweating all of the details... perhaps I just need to channel some instinct and not worry. As you say, there are more major elements that will determine whether this build works or not!
