The 'bending' thing sorts itself out real quick. In the meantime, I'm curious what experiences others may have had. But I dunno.overall my beloved axe didn't make me grin quite like it did yesterday.īut again, I've only spent an hour with them so I won't rush to judgment. And strumming clean sounds noticeably better (more in harmonically tune, somehow). It definitely feels warmer, bigger, and the strings feel like they can really take a thrashing, which I like. So I don't quite know the cause, but I feel like it's missing the 'sweetness' in the tone. Granted a few other variables changed: the action was lowered, the pickup height was adjusted (lowered), and the brand of strings was switched to D'Addario. And I definitely had moments where I felt confident I'd made the right decision.īut I don't really think I got that "OMG this guitar sings" feeling that I had with 10's, despite their being stock strings (I assume Gibson Brite Wires?). I brought my new Midtown custom in to get set up today, and the luthier recommended trying D'Addario 11's so I said why not.Īfter two half hour sessions playing (mostly blues), I'm not sure how I feel about the switch from 10's.īending is obviously tougher, but I'll likely get used to that in time.
