Patrick -> RE: Strings? (Nov. 17 2004 18:00:44)

I am personally in the camp that “strings are strings”, although I wasn’t at one time. I’ve tried most of them. But here’s a story that made me think. I just received my new Aaron Green blanca last Friday. Aaron uses LaBella strings exclusively. Aaron had medium 2001’s on it. When I first played it, the trebles were very loud and clear with very short sustain. The low E was a bit flat to me, which I knew I could cure. On Sunday I put on Corrum basses and Cristal trebles. This guitar is responding completely different. As expected, the Corrum’s did the trick on the basses, but what’s really interesting, is the incredible sustain it now has. It’s absolutely like night and day. It isn’t that it made the guitar any better, just “different”. My guess is, this is such a responsive instrument, that it tends to take on the character of the strings more so then a lesser guitar would. So, at least for this guitar, I have to say that strings are 6.34% of the equation! Pat
