Well I strung up some nickel bronze 12s and wasn't feeling it. The tone was still there , maybe a bit better, but it was a bit harsher and definitely rendered the guitar harder to play , which is a big deal since it's got a bit of a curve sans truss rod. So anyways, back on went the flat wounds. They seem to fit this guitar, for my ear at least. I'd love to try monels if perhaps they can split the difference and bring some better tone.
