Jimelliottbassist Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 What brand of strings do you use and type. I’ve been using TI Flats short scale 46-105. Sound great but a mission to wrap the E string round the post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandad Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Is it strung through-body? I thought not on this model. Edited September 9, 2020 by grandad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen this on ebay so it looks like they are string through. I fitted the Labella custom to both my Mustangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
