Anyone out there have a Pono MT? Can you recommend replacement strings?
I used higher tension Southcoasts on mine. I forget which ones because Southcoast names their strings by a series of letters that seem to change every year. Dirk, the owner, is quite helpful and I found the highest tension GCEA strings, whatever they are, to truly bring out the punch in that mahogany. Made it into a regular Floyd Mayweather, those Southcoasts did. The champ.
If high tension is wanted I love the sound of the stock Ko'olau Gold strings. Nice volume and punch and really bring out the voice in my Pono.
And now that I see the post above I have to agree about them being a little tough on the fingers.
Are they the strings that the Pono came with?
