Swapped out the Earthwood strings last night with D'addario EJ19 and they sound and work FAR better for this acoustic. I know that they are different types of strings (Phosphor bronze) but I am not certain I have ever heard a set sound as bad on my acoustic as the Earthwood set. Wowzers...
The Earthwood strings focus on so many harmonic frequencies rather than the core sound that they sound terrible on my Koa back/side acoustic. Nothing but high end resonance and harmonics. Kinda cool but gave away all of the other sets I had.
I have never liked EB strings on guitars... This is for the past 20 years now. I keep trying them every now and then and am always disappointed. It's like the note is hiding behind the sound of the string. You can hear finger movement very easily and stuff as well. I have Daddarios on half of my...
Reach out to Planet Tone pickups. I have a DG strat set from them that is absolutely insane!! I went through a ton of different pickups and nothing comes close to the set from them. One of the best bridge pickups ever!!! Good luck :)

I should clarify when I say I played with dolls - it was with my female cousin, I did not own them but still. Doesn't make you a boy/girl/gay/straight to enjoy cooking, dancing, singing, and music. I love that movie!
Seems like a lot of people don't understand that hate of self/depression plays a huge role in this. We dislike who we are to a high degree and are looking to run away from that. That is why we go to suicide and things of that nature. Transgender is a new outlet to try to run to, an escape. Not a...
I thank God I wasn't born any later. I had/have so many issues and this is crushing to read. It sounds like reading about myself at a young age. The pain, sexual confusion (now made worse by the media and all this trash) and learning to try to accept myself as I was. I have had a tough enough...
