Subject: RE: Tech: Martin Carthy's Strings
Martin uses very heavy guage strings which invalidate the warranty on his guitar which has been repaired many times. Gauges used:
.015
.018
.027
.039
.047
.059
Tunings. Cgcdga often. If you use heavy gauge get advice first or so that the guitar can take it. Like johnDoyle has reinforcements for his martin tsking heavy gauge bass strings.
