I'm with Anders and Ron on this. Oh no....I'm not agreeing on this technical point, like some bloody expert or something.... I just agree that "there's a lot of nonsense out there.." just in general. [:D] cheers, Ron Sorry, Ron. Didn't mean to misrepresent your post. quote:
Just read the last paragraph! (It refers about sound and only that, but they recommend that these strings are not for 650mm scale). But in my case the Luthier 20 are higher than D' Addarios EJ45 or Luthier 30. Thats simple! http://www.stringsbymail.com/store/index.php?main_page=page&id=2 quote:
Bill, I think you're right. But maybe i have to do some work to my nut, cause it really has a difference to my guitar. gounaro, I'm not trying to be difficult, but I'm still trying to understand how it's possible that the action on your guitar is higher with lower tension strings. As you say, Strings By Mail's suggestion that light tension strings might not be the best choice for 650mm guitars is based on sound alone. It has nothing to do with height of the action. And I don't see how the slots in your nut could create a higher action for light tension strings, either. If anything, light tension strings should sit deeper in the slots of the nut because light tension strings have a smaller diameter. That would lower your action, not raise it. Have you actually measured of the action, say from the bottom of the strings to the top of the fret at the 12th fret, with light and high tension strings? I'm just wondering if your assesment is based on measurements or on the feel of the action.
