...the Worth clear C string or switch it for a Thomastik-Infeld CF27 chrome flat wound string...
BWAAAA-HAAAA - got ya to look!
My new Boat Paddle 5-string tenor arrived a couple of hours ago. Spruce top/ walnut back, sides, and head plate/ebony finger board and binding / pearl logo and thumbnail markers / MiSi pickup.
Sounds and plays amazing. Good volume and sustain, excellent intonation up the neck, nice action, great chimey harmonics, "peppy" tone without being too bright. Sounds like a ukulele, not a guitar.
I was worried about Worth clears being a bit bright with spruce but I really like it. I'd figured that I might end up changing to Ko'Olau gold strings or something but I think I'm happy with what's on it now (I'd sent Jerry a Thomastik-Infeld CF30 for the octave G). I really might go to a CF27 wound C but I'll play it this way for a while before deciding.
