    I'm about to order one of Roger's Semi Hollow Body guitars and I'm trying to decide between a wound third like I'm using on my SS-15 and Jim Hall or, a plain steel third.

    Any input from you folks who have one?

    Thanks,

    Plain 3rd on mine

    What sort of music do you plan to play? I've had both plain and wound on mine, both sound nice. I'd go with a wound 3rd if you're going for a more 'trad jazz' sound, maybe plain if you will play more fusion or other styles (i.e. blues, etc.).

    Strictly Jazz.
    I'm having Roger set it up with 11 rounds with the wound third.

    This is it here:
