budman68 Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Well, I did the nylon and the bronze also now and I must say the bronze is the best in my opinion. The nylon, as always, just does not have the sustain that I like. Again, please forgive my playing as I can't play for crap as I'm STILL rusty lol! Here is the nylon: Nylon strings And here are the Bronze strings: Bronze strings Dave-> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Well, What can be said? Amaizing! What pickup system did you use (I assume is some sort of piezo)? I'm planning to do something simmilar, and I had my eye on the Graph-Tec "FAAS/Ghost" system ( http://www.tusq.com/product_display.asp?Se...and&brand=Ghost ), and was wondering if you have had experience with it. But yeah, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Oh Ah, that's nice. Personnally, I like the Nylon sound better. The bronze is certainly brighter, but the nylon just has more character. My 2 cents. *bravo* on the MP3's BTW, nice work! Bear's latest project and this gives me an idea for a future contest for the guitar of the month. Electric/Acoustic hybrid projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budman68 Posted September 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Hey there, yeah I like the nylon but I think I'm going to stick with the bronze for now though. Ford: I have had no experience with FAAS but I do hear great hings from them. I used an under the saddle piezo connected to a Barcus Berry preamp that I retrofitted into the cavity of the guitar. It was originaly in a little black box on it's own but I wanted to make it an "on board" unit. Thanks for the comments! Dave-> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Oh, I get it! Very clever, way to think "out of the box!" Har Har Har! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roli Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I better like the bronze's sound. It's more focused and got singing sustain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
