Just like the title: have you ever frankenstein(ed) together a string set that really blew you away unexpectedly?
My example: my A string on my Pono popped in the case overnight (Savarez Red). The string set before was a D'addario J71 high G string, Savarez Red C, E, and A strings. The only string I have to swap is a Ko'olau Gold wound C string...so I swapped the D'addario to the A and put the Ko'olau in as a low G.
G: Ko'olau Gold wound C string tuned low G
C: Savarez Red guitar D string tuned C
E: Savarez Red guitar B string tuned E
A: D'addario J71 guitar E string tuned A
Surprise! I'm actually really blown away by the tone, it's super powerful with the guitar strings and the wound Low G and I think I might actually keep this setup on for a few weeks just to see how I like it in the long run.
Has anyone else put together a string set on the fly they were sure they were going to not like but ended up loving?
