    Luthier Jason Kostal (Phoenix AZ) is rightly renowned for his extraordinary attention to detail throughout the guitar making process. Earlier this year I visited him and we had a chat about string choice while he carved a new nut and saddle for my MDW signature model.

    So funny! I used J P PB lights for a number of years and liked them. I've since switched to Martin coated strings which do last longer but don't sound quite as nice.

    • @MichaelWatts
      @MichaelWatts  5 лет назад +1

      Well, I can still tell the difference, I find that JP's sound gorgeous for the first 37 seconds and then it's downhill fast...

    • @paulboden7850
      @paulboden7850 5 лет назад +2

      Thanks for pointing that out...nothing worse than strings that go downhill fast! Elixirs, while more expensive, do go the distance! I've been using the D'Addario phosphor bronze EJ 16s for years and find them to be satisfactory.
