How's everyone doing? I'm sure you're better off than me & enjoying life, worry-free (for the most part). I am killing time at home with an unfashionable guitar which is my Peavey 23. That single pickup & the reverse headstock were the main draw to this guitar. That body outline might be a derivative of some elementary school project design which hinted at being adventurous but fell flat on the boring turf. Anyway, this guitar sports a 24.75" scale length. I had a set of 10s in there & things felt stiff, uninspiring, semi-hindered & mistake-inducing. It's been set up to my specs which should work but strangely, it felt wrong.
So the guitar was re-strung with a set of 9.5s & these did wonders in terms of feel. It's like a completely different guitar. Almost. Anyway, I'm reflecting if top wrapping the strings for my Gibsons (24.75") was the reason the 10s felt right in those guitars but not for this one. I love this guitar for its ability to manifest heavy tones. It's a riff machine more so than a tool for solos.
