anyone built with or experimented with acoustic guitar strings on ukes???

so far on my first uke.... Worth Clears..... 'towards bright' but not bad, kinda twangy. Worth Fats maybe not as much dynamic range, but louder, brightish. shaved the braces down a bit with a tool i made, and cut a bunch of lacquer off the top and back (kids, don't try this at home!) ... then to some Guadalupe strings, quieter, I like the feel, maybe missing something though, need higher action with these strings, and probably not strong enough top drive this instrument, they are rated for soprano/concert.

I just strung up the Savarez 541r, 543r, 542r, and 541j This is the best yet by a lot. Finally getting some sustain on the A string, better projection. I think there may have been a sweetness to the Guadalupes that is missing now, but so far, I like the Savarez strings.
