zombywoof Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Those are nice guitars. I played an earlier round soundhole Spartan for a bit way back when. Not sure what you mean by appropriate strings but assuming there are no structural issues I would go 13s wound on a round core. Whether you go with PBs, 80/20s or nickel is purely up to your taste.

There are no structural issues on the guitar and i have place a cheap set (with 0,11 on e string).she has a great sound and i assume it wsould have been better with the correct strings for this guitar.Pictures coming soon.Sorry for my not so good english writing..

masterbuilt Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Here she is .Before the restoration: http://trixorda.blog...og-post_28.html Nice - from the pics I would say c. 1937. What's the serial number? Strings: For acoustic playing I suggest Bronze Wound 12s or 13s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
