I'm reading about and trying to listen to Flukes. I like the feature set - low action, great intonation, comfortable neck - but not sure I'm sold on the sound yet. Most of the YouTube samples seem pretty bright and plinky for my tastes. Would any of the following "mellow out" the sound of the standard Fluke? Worth (or other) strings? Low G and/or Low Bb tuning? "Deluxe" soundboards (mahogany, koa, walnut)?
