I have been unable to get an answer anywhere else to this question so hopefully I can get it here.
I have a Gretsch G9121 Uke.
I recently went to change the strings.
In the Gretsch specs for the uke it says to use soprano strings.
Can anybody tell me why they would say to use soprano strings as a replacement?
I am afraid of what is going to happen if I use larger Tenor strings?
I am afraid that the larger strings may produce fret buzz on my low action and also that the additional tenor string tension is going to affect the neck.
I have tried to contact Gretsch, several times, but they have not given me an answer. As a matter of fact, it was Fender Guitars that replied but they never answered my question.
I would appreciate any help you can give me as I am tired of the runaround that I have received from Gretsch/Fender.
