He doesn't have any 2003 or later Taylors. He's been playing with this pickup for quite a long time, and Monk and the sound guys have it set up to sound quite nicely, even if it's not ES :)

I guess he's just old-fashioned that way. There's so much other stuff it goes through anyway that they can make it sound so good.

true...so hows it work? he just "buys"/"gets" his guitars without any electronics on them? then his techs do all the work?

Go with medium strings and you'll never use lights again.

I just switched back from Medium to Custom Light Elixirs on my Taylor, and I can't believe I even TRIED Mediums on there.

Let me kinda run something kinda on the same topic...

When your guitar, Mine for example (Taylor-Dreadnaught Bodystyle)
Has Mediums already on it as mine did (standard string size for the Taylor.) anyway...

Then you go out and buy some Extra lights....and use Extra lights for a couple of months, Then go back to Mediums... would this cause for some Bowing of the neck/buzzing. From switching to quickly?...

Also, If you must switch you guitar would that mean have a "setup" done on it to make up for the tension I guess?..err something. :?



Another question. (On the strings topic, While im at it.) :)

Which is better for the D'Addario EXP series the...

Extended Play Phosphor Bronze Strings or the Extended play 80/20 Bronze Strings?

I've used both, I just cant tell which Bronze is better for which situation.

If this makes any sence whatsoever to you...any clear up of this would be greatly appreciated. 8)
