ES-355.Jive Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 About to head about and do some string experimentation on my guitar. For years I've used .9-.42 on all my guitars. 92 Studio, ES 359 and lately 355. recently I've moved up to .10s on my semi hollow. but I notice a slight difference in the instruments unplugged volume. I'm considering .11s but I'm also slightly curious about what forum members experience is with .11s on a semi hollow and how many of you guys have tried flatwounds on your semi hollow? just curious. FYI my playing style is very soft, mellow, not aggressive at all, and I use a JC120 primarily. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 ... FYI my playing style is very soft, mellow, not aggressive at all, and I use a JC120 primarily... I played 11's on my 335 and 345 for years and was very happy (Blues and Rock). I few years ago I decided to try a set of 12-52, and have since begun using them on all my solids and semi's. I do use flats, or technically speaking "nylon tape wounds", on my hollow body archtops for Jazz. From the description of your playing style and gear, you might want to try a set of flats on that semi. Grab a set of D'Adario "Chromes" and give it a try. They're cheat and easy to find. If you indeed like the flats, you could then experiment with the higher priced "boutique" and "handmade" flats. I'm a LaBella guy, but there are many here that rave about a TI product.
