  1. @jedzep Ahh yes. Good points. I will keep all that in mind when restringing, 🙂 Also, I have just tuned my old Duolian to D Standard tuning and its great. Love the tone. I usually have it tuned to open D, but its nice to play in D Standard. Something different. So thanks again for the tips. Was a big help.
  2. @jedzep Thank you very much for the info. I have never really considered D Standard tuning. Ive just researched it a bit more and I love the idea of it, so I will tune my L1 to that. Ive just bought a set of nickel bronze D'Addario 12s so hopefully they will sound and play great. Anything will sound better than the rusted strings that were previously on it. Thanks again for the insight. 🙂
  3. @merciful-evans The guitar is solid, and the neck is built like a baseball bat, so I have no real reason to think that it shouldn't handle heavier strings. Famous last words... 😉
  4. @merciful-evans Yep, that's correct. 🙂 Its a beautiful guitar. I love it. And that was my other thought actually. I wasn't sure on what gauge strings to use. I initially thought I would have to use light gauge due to the age and build of the guitar, but if you think it can handle heavier strings then I might go slightly heavier. Thanks a lot for you info. 🙂
  5. Great, thanks for the info. Appreciate it. 🙂
  6. Hello all I have a 1920 Gibson L1. I am replacing the strings and would like to get some recommendations please. The current strings are old and fairly low volume, so Im not sure if the newer strings will be able to help to make it a bit louder/brighter? Cheers
