Great! Nice examples and comparisons
Do you guys have something on the GN20 CE NS? I bought it very recently and I think its a long scale guitar but im not sure. Its supposed to have 10’s But im thinking of changing to 11’s (strings). I reckon it should add better and tighter sound.

The GN20CE has a 643mm scale, which is about 25.3 inches which is considered a standard scale as opposed to a short scale. You can use 11's on there with no problem.
