[SimonPowis]

@Chagsis Thank you!

[Chagsis]

@SimonPowis Hey, if you don't mind sharing, what kind of guitar is that/what strings do you use? I know that it's a classical (duh) I'm just wondering where you got it. Also, if you know what kind of wood is used for the different parts that would be interesting, as currently I don't really know how a particular kind of wood affects the tone of the guitar.

[SimonPowis]

@Chagsis  It is a guitar built by Paul Sheridan (WA Australia) the back is Indian Rosewood and the top is Cedar. Classical guitars are normally made with cedar or spruce tops. The strings are good ol' D addario j 46

Hope this helps!

[Chagsis]

@SimonPowis Ah, I was going to guess spruce. Shows how much I know. Interesting choice of strings, have you ever tried out Aranjuez strings? The medium gauge silver set has become my favorite, I prefer the sound to what my guitar sounds like when it's set up with Augustines or D'addario. Of course, different strings interact with different guitars in a unique way, but if you're ever in the mood to experiment you should give them a try some time.
