My 40 year old hand built wooden guitar needed new strings and I bought (cheap!) medium weight and fitted/laced them in. I am relearning skills from over 50 years ago and these strings are killing my fingers! I have ordered a set of Addario J43 (light tension) strings to help me along. Will I notice a difference? I have adjusted the action by filing the nut and saddle as it was a shade high at first and it is now just about spot on. There is no bending or warpage that I can see using straight edges. My technique is improving and my finger ends are hardening. I am determined not to give up!

Similarly this seems to be echoed fuzz , distortion and echoed guitar-feedback? The bass and drums seems to be reverbed also?

Hi all, long-standing Basschatter but new here. Always think of myself as a bass player, but spent some years studying and playing classical guitar, then flamenco. In recent years been playing acoustics and now electrics. I'm a Fender nut so always played Precisions (occasionally tried Jazz basses). A quick buying spree got me through a MIM Tele Vintera, then a MIJ Strat (Fujigen '96), then what feels like my personal keeper - a US 2016 'pro' Tele with ash body. A Fender Super Champ valve combo with Celestion greenback 10 and that'll do for me (well the odd pedal maybe, I have Boss chorus and an HB vintage delay which is remarkably good given it cost very little. Anyway, that's the intro - I'll be listing 2 guitars for sale but will definitely particpate in the forum, always lots to leardn. cheers all, Douglas
