Like Oily I use phosphor bronze wound,usually 22,30 and 40 with a 650mm scale length

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on August 15, 2014 at 9:45am
Gary,

Depends on scale length and tuning. I tend to use medium phosphor bronzes with a steel core, usually the A-D-G strings, so I can tune G-D-G or A-D-F#, typically on 25 or 25.5" scales.

Gary I usually use a 36, 26 and 17   (-:

Seem to have slept through lazy day, so will have to have a lazy day today instead.

Happy National Lazy Day Y'all! I was gonna post this earlier so you could all make the most of the day but I couldn't be bothered....

Don't like to blow my own trumpet, but on this occasion I'm going to! The legendary Vintage Trouble take ownership of a stick in a box made by me. Hearing the one and only Nalle Colt play it was - to put it lightly - bloody incredible! If you don't know who they are check out  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkAQdUbycc4   and if you ever get chance to see them live.........wow!!!
