Now, I play it every day. The sound is bright & clear. Best of all, it doesn't hurt my fingers at all. I like it! fuuck |
You may continue to enjoy the ultra light strings, but if they don't continue to impress or if they cause buzz or neck problems, try picking up a classical guitar. The strings are easier on the fingertips for occasional players, but if played regularly will tend to maintain the hard fingertips. Also the different action is good for your technique.
