My Godin mutiac has been without strings for 9 months because I can't get motivated enough to change the strings given the labor involved. I want to play it, but when I think about the strings, I just go to my strat. Thank you for this post, so detailed and well presented. I just placed an order hoping this will end my laziness to change the strings. All the best.

Strange isn't it how a change can help us overcome our loss of interest. I find the same thing from time to time 😊😀

Excellent review thank you very much,it's always a bit of a performance changing strings this is so much easier,I've bought a set and as you say a complete neutral outcome delighted with them.

How do you find the unwound G? With most sets the G sounds muddy.

@@maxwellfan55 Yes, you can hear the difference between the wound D and the unwound G. But I try to go for a traditional sound so I go with it. It would be interesting to try and improve this though 🤔

@@guitar-academy The London Guitar Centre sell an unwound G of different type (same gauge) to improve clarity and yes, it works. It's a different colour though, or at least it was last time I bought one.

Opps. But well healed. I Love String Beads. Especially for the unwound strings.

no, not cheap at all 🤔

I found this very well presented and most importantly, very useful especially as I'm considering a string change and rarely happy with the results. The beads make it look neater and considerably easier. Two questions. Do you think the beads help decrease string slippage, and what strings would you use or recommend for a more trebly, flamenco tone? I like the tone you achieved on the classical guitar demonstration, perhaps you can tell what make/spec they are. Thank you.

I think they do decrease slippage but its very difficult for me to prove on camera. The strings commented about on this video of very nice 'Savarez'. My flamenco guitar which was made in Spain for flamenco artists arrived with 'Savarez' strings so I've used them ever since. They have a range of strings, but I haven't tested the different types yet, perhaps that's an idea for a video 😊

How do you put beads on a double hole bridge?

These are designed to make a single holed bridge behave like a double holed bridge.

If you have a doubled hole bridge you would be wasting your time using these beads.
