Gut strings on my EUB?


Recommended Posts

  • Nice Guy Rich changed the title to Gut strings on my EUB?

Yes, I used some Gamuts on my Yamaha SLB-100 and it was horrible. I suspect guts, in order to resonate and breath in the beautiful way they do, require the slow acoustic swell of the large wooden body. 

 

Note also that guts will not work with a magnetic PUP and tend to have lower output than steels or synthetics so the quality of pickup on your EUB wil also be a factor (on my SLB I was using an high quality underfoot and wing PUPs) 

 

But you'll only know if you try it for yourself. If you go for it I suggest that you do not buy new gut strings however, decent ones are bloosy expensive and they will halve in resale value the moment you put them on your instrument.  

 

Good luck 👍
