Talking Guitar Strings With Singer/Songwriter Jesse Sykes

Jesse Sykes is a singer/songwriter who uses a combo of electrics and acoustic guitars. On stage or in the studio, Sykes hates the sound of a brand new set of strings, and does what she can to get the tone she's after. In this video blog edition of Gearwire Gossip, Joe Wallace talked with Jesse Sykes before her set opening for Sparklehorse in Chicago to find out what she does to make old strings and new work for her.

In case you were wondering, yes, we did get an interview with Mark Linkous that very night. Stay tuned for the full monty on both Jesse Sykes and Sparklehorse. It's definitely on the way!
