I think your playing is more joyful when you play the older one in the video. I guess that's because it's a more lively, resonant and lighter guitar. The new one sounds a bit darker and more electric to me. Both sound good but I can see how the first one can be more fun to play.

I string my ES-175 that way - I like the wiggle room. Excellent playing, and your genuine enthusiasm for these wonderful instruments shines through. Congratulations, and play them in good health!
PS: I think the principal difference between the two - construction details aside - is about 300 hours of play time.
I'm confident you will get right on it!Last edited by citizenk74; 07-20-2021 at 10:38 AM.

I'm also asking because you said you swap the wound G in the 12 gauge set with a plain g. Thomastik bebop 12 set already comes with plain G. So I'm assuming you really like the George Benson strings as opposed to the Bebop strings. What's the difference in your opinion?

Enjoyed that!
You have reminded me that I have a set of Thomastik jazz strings hidden away somewhere. I will them fit them to my L5 when I do a set up.
I remember buying strings from them in the past, and I experienced some kind of minor problem. I emailed them for advice and they sent me a free set from Germany. Excellent customer service.
