Fraulini Setup
|
The string sets that I've been using on my guitars are a happy medium for me,
tuned either to B
or C. The gauges were originally put together by
Alvin Youngblood Hart:
course 1: .013/.013
The first, second and third courses are all tuned in unison pairs, the fourth, fifth and sixth course pairs are one octave apart. When I make a new guitar, do the setup and make a nut, I use the setup listed above. It's a happy medium for playing McTell or Leadbelly material. When people are familiar with the instrument and have a string set that they like to use, I do the set up accordingly. Most people find this setup an excellent place to start experimenting. |
