Watss Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hello. I recently received a 1951 L4C and i would like to get the best possible strings for it. I know little about that style of guitar were as i played mostly solid bodied electrics and flat top acoustics. This is a heirloom that was past to me from my father. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 You have to just experiment and see what you like. You could try flatwound stings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) That's a pretty cool old girl Agree w/trying a set of flat wounds. Pretty much the go to style of string for an archtop/hollow body. Nothing too exotic needed, D'Addario Chromes will suit you just fine. I like those. I use 11s you may want something beefier if you have big hands, which I don't Edited January 17, 2020 by kidblast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I'll chime in as agree too. Flatwound 11's are an ideal place to start. That's a tidy looking guitar; a proper old girl. I hope you bond with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 That's stunning. I'd like a good go on it! Another vote from me for the flatwound 11s. Just the job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
