Took my son to see him in Macon for the tour kickoff show. Allman Bros were the main band that lured him into playing guitar and they are one of my all time favorite bands. It was great to see Dickey on stage again even if he was a bit rusty. Hoping the best for his recovery.
Being new to the forum I don’t feel I have a voice here, but this has to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on a guitar forum. I’m following with great interest!
Give me sunbursts, dark bursts, honey bursts or tobacco burst or give me natural. I just can’t get down with non-earthy colors. Call me traditional.
Got some strings in this week. Put a low tension set on my OM SS and BOOM!, the beast came alive! Bass is there in spades but everything is nice and even across the fingerboard. I also ordered a mid tension set and put in on my H&D dread and the power and volume is on another level. And my concern about the low tension on a short scale were instantly dismissed. No issues there.
Been playing Elixir PB nano strings for years so I’m having to relearn a little technique to minimize the finger squeak but the tone is 100% better.
Thanks for the reply Richard! I’m going to roll with low tension. With my left index finger having some arthritic pain when playing barre chords I think the lower tension on short scale should be quite nice.
