This looks killer low G ? Try both set John see what you like.

It's not easy to play and sing but it would be awesome if you and you wife sang this.

Oh, guys, it is a neck through, but the neck is half or more inches from the top.

Thanks much, Jim.   After hearing that, I will take the strings off the posts and start anew using not much excess.

Yeah Unc, those Aquila's stretch like twice as much as regular nylon. Even after bringing them up to pitch it''ll take about 3-4 days of tuning for them to stabilize. I usually start with the least amount of wrap I can get by with when starting them on the post. Look's real good!

Yeah, Ted and I see now that I should have allowed more height out of the head stock for the tuner posts- to hold all that wound string.

So true about nylon strings. I did a cb uke last month...took over a week for strings to settle, but unlike steel acoustic or electric guitar strings, nylons stretch forever...well, almost.

Thanks guys.   I am not accustomed to nylon strings.   I've had to crank and crank the tuners - all the while thinking a string will POP!
