Strings / Saddle / Nut

[swingtoneman]

Your advice on 3 questions:

a) I want to try a set of D'addario EJ46 FF Pro-Arte Carbon Dynacore hard tension strings. I believe the trebles are quite thin--have you tried a set? Change to a more thicker treble string?--is so what make of treble string do you like?

b) Do you prefer a Graph Tech Tusq compensated saddle?

c) Have you tried a brass nut and saddle?

Your thoughts appreciated. Many thanks.

a) I tried a set on my Cordoba studio negra. Yes, the trebles are thinner and higher tension. I prefer the feel and sound of the EJ43 set on that guitar.

b) No preference, as long as it functions properly.

c) I've tried brass on electric guitars, but never on a nylon string.
