My strings came today I cannot believe the difference from the 15/56 I feel like I did when I was a kid and got my Marshall superlead 'No mum, I promise I won't play it loud in the house' Now I'll have to convince my wife, it's her imagination when she asks 'Darling, does your national sound much louder?' MM 16/59 PB from here on in for me. Thank you all for your contributions 😃

Cheers John I clocked that on the directions and admit to being sceptical. Then I read all the posts on here and thought better of chancing it. Judging by the sets I've had so far, they are worth the slight awkwardness involved in stringing this way. As for the advice I have received and read in these pages. Wow The wonderful people on here sharing their experiences and wisdom is awe inspiring and I've never come across the likes before. 🙂

And they may well be mine too, but I know I'll have fun trying out the other options. Even if I end up going straight back to them it will be time and money well spent. I tend toward heavier gauge strings on guitars, 13s on teles&strats in standard tuning for example. I appreciate your input and I cannot fault the current strings at all. I'm a firm believer in 'just because it isn't broke, doesn't mean you shouldn't play around with it' 😜

Thank you Michael I'll do just that and I may as well add some nickel 15-56 sets into the mix. Not that I'm at all unhappy with the sound and feel of my guitar as is. It's just nice to have more options to try out. I also really enjoyed the back story you added. It is exactly the type of information that I have found myself lost in, whenever I've thought of asking or posting something. Now to order some strings......😃

Hi all I've been meaning to post for a while, but each time I decide to I get caught up in reading threads. It is such an amazing resource (I realise I'm preaching to the choir) My lovely wife treated me to a fantastic National Triolian from Peach Guitars for my birthday back in June. (My first resonator) I have to say I love it Almost all questions I thought I had have been answered within the posts here I'm using 15-56 pb mm newtones as I felt the first string being a 13 from the factory was a tad thin sounding The string change dramatically improved the sound an playability of the guitar(imo) I play mostly in open D or G And amplify using an sm57 as recommended with great results. My question is would I get away with upping the string gauge to the 16-59? I apologise for being long winded and if this question has been answered countless times here Cheers Gordon
