Members Raspberry Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 Can any recommend some guitar strings which will give my acoustic a real twangy country sound? Some that's easy to hammer and pull and etc. I don't play that much acoustic so I have to remember to put in a bit more effort into my technique (since you don't have to pummel the fretboard of an electric) so it's a bit annoying. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JasmineTea Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 You can get twang by lowering the action. If you want lighter strings, I would'nt go lighter than .011. My 000-1 is set up low with .011s and it's nice and twangy. It'll twang with .012s too but I have to pluck a little harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zookie Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 You can also buy sets of Bluegrass strings now. E A D strings are a heavier guage, proportionately, than the G B E strings. It gives you a bassy low end with a twangier high end. I don't have much experience with them. I put a set on my Tak recently and have liked the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
