I like the sounds of what I'm reading about spruce tops and I think I'd like to replace the OS-OU2 with a spruce top concert.
The OS is strung with an unwound low g and that's how I'd like to keep a concert.
But I'm associating a spruce top with a "brightness" vs a "mellow" mahogany. If this is correct, does it make sense to string a spruce top with a low g?
I don't know why not but the idea of bright with a mellower low g sound doesn't compute.
I think it would sound great, though!
As an aside, I was trying to pick up a fingerstyle "Hallelujah" today and the version I was trying just could not be done on a high g. Well, I suppose it could be done, but not by me!
