Emerald X07-OS and medium strings?
I just received my X07-OS B-spec and am very impressed. I usually play with PB mediums and am curious if any other X07-OS owners have experimented with medium gauges and what you discovered?
Thanks, Dave

Better with mediums IMO, but not as shocking an upgrade as mediums on a Cargo. Jon

Much more of a difference because of the much shorter scale on the Cargo than on the X7OS, but still a bit more volume as well.

Hi Dave
I just put a set of Elixir mediums on my X7 OS two days ago. Big difference over the lights. More volume, not as "jangley". This guitar is growing on me.

Emerald X07-OS and medium strings...Playability?
OK, I see from the comments that the medium gauge strings made a significant difference in sound.
For the guitars I am playing, I have preferred the lesser tension of light gauge for easier playability. I am also planning on getting an X7-OS. How significantly did the increase in tension affect the playability? Mike ___________________________ 2011 Martin Size 5 Custom Shop 2012 Baby Taylor Hog |
