Sure!

I checked at 1, 2, and three. Three showed no change. The low e and the b may be a few cents sharp at one and two, but the needle was wavering. It was never near ten cents sharp, however. On the internal Fishman tuner the solid green never wavers regardless of fret position, but hey, they believe close enough is close enough, right?

I am partial to D'addario's and use the same strings on my dobro and flattop. The EJ-17 set (phos-bronze 13-56) is just right for my guitar and my sometimes aggressive style when flat picking. (This guitar is a great cutter against the banjos and mandolins. (Why are those little tiny mandos so dang loud, anyway???) This set also works well for me for fingerpicking, which takes up about half my playing time. I replace the unwounds with 17/18 or 18/19 on the dobro. D'addario sells a special dobro set, but they're the same except for the unwounds, so I save bucks by buying in quantities.

Good luck with your search. I hope you find what you want, CA or not!
