Re-string Sunday: Pure nickel

Good Sunday morning to all :-)

Just had a fresh set of D'Addario pure nickels in my Aria. Notice the hybrid gauge- the bottom ends are trimmed down slightly. It might not be that significant in feel but it reduces tension, rather beneficial for dweebs like me who has a light picking touch when it comes to solos. The trade-off here is, of course, its less 'meaty' manifestation when it comes to bass notes peddling. Many of us have other guitars for that kind of assignment, sometimes we need to lay back a little & soak into something that's not our thing for the sake of variety. We may not end up liking it but there might be some take-aways in terms of experience.
