Re: Beginner ?’s about changing sound/tone
Oval Hole Eastman + primetone triangles got me a nice dark sound for not too much money. I've never felt the need to upgrade, it just sounds so good as is.
An upgrade would give more acoustic power though, so for acoustic jam sessions a nicer mando would really help, but for playing alone I prefer less volume to not bother neighbors.
Lighter strings trade less power for more sustain and playability, I liked that enough I run GHS ultra-light strings.
Experiment for what works for you and enjoy. :-)
