I have used these before on my Corboba C5 classical with good results, and I was considering trying a set on one of my acoustic steel-strings. It will either be my cedar-topped, mahogany back and sides, 14-fret Walden G2070 GA, or my spruce-topped, rosewood back and sides, 12-fret Cort L500-O OM.

Which do YOU think might get the best results from these strings? 🤔

You'll have to open up the high E & B nut slots for sure. The low E & A will be very sloppy in the nut slots, might even buzz.

FloridaGull, Just my guess, but I think the cedar topped one will give much better results.

The Cort will be harder to drive the volume and tone out of because of its smaller size, smaller scale length, harder top wood, and smaller string tension.

But again....that's just my guess.

FloridaGull,

I'd save the strings for the Cordoba, and use a very cheap set of classical strings for the steel string guitar if you must.

Faith Mercury, Parlour Guitar.
Tanglewood TW40 Sundance Historic, 12 freter. Solid Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides.
Takamine GY93E-Nat, Parlour Guitar, solid Spruce top.
Epiphone ES339, semi acoustic Electric guitar,
Fender Mex Stratocaster, White with Maple neck.
PRS se Custom, 24 fret, Mahogany back with Maple cap.
Tanglewood TW 45 Re Sundance Reserve, All solid wood, Cedar Top,Mahogany back and sides.

WELCOME TO THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR CABIN!!!
