That sounds like a cry for help. We're here for you. Stay strong.

I have the HB version. Great guitar, I've gigged it but in the 13 piece Hulla band there's not a lot of room for the extended range. String spacing is tight (as you'd expect) and I found swapping between four and six in a gig a little challenging. I guess you've read through the dedicated thread - some good string recommendations there.

 

But as this is the Abstinence thread - don't do it. Just say no. Four strings is more than enough. 😀

From what I remember they were used in the 60s to earn double fee on sessions. Is that what you’re doing? If not I think you can save yourself the torture 😆
