.013, .013
.017, .017
.014, .026
.014,.036
.018(wound), .046
.030 (wound),.056
happy playing thanks for watching
Hello,,,Was the bridge doctor hard to fit ? any tips ? did you use a bridge pin instead of drilling the bridge ?.....fantastic playing BTW lovely sound ....keep posting the instructional vids a great way to pass it all on IMHO

@eightpans i had a luthier do this, i wasn't into building yet, he used a single bridge pin( only charged for one) I think he liked the idea, he'd never seen it before, it is easy, especailly with the pin setup....I will definitely post some more how to play stuff, i have been helped a lot by other people's stuff, so indeed a good way to pass on the benefits!!!!! happy playing and thinaks for watching!!!!

@InnuendoXP actually the heavy gauge strings are not really bad, I had the action set by a pro, and remember I'm tuned way down......

After playing Martin, Taylor, Takamine and Ovation 12 strings.....The 500 Dollar Seagull handily took them back to school and confiscated their lunch money.
