I have a S&B order coming in a couple of days which includes Monels in both light and medium gauge, plus the other types listed in my prior post. Time to experiment over the coming weeks.....
The reason prompting this thread was my new custom X20, which has a distinctly brighter voice than any of my other Emeralds (older X20, X20-12, X30, X7 woody version 2). I have described the older X20 as having a rich Martin-esque voice, and the new guitar as more like a koa or maple Taylor in character. So I am trying to tame that brightness with other strings that are normally part of my arsenal. Details and reviews to follow.
