I've got a Taylor 12 GA string that is very nice, but I do not play it very much. I could sell it, or....
I could get a set of Octave Mandolin strings, cut a new nut (and saddle too, I suppose) and string the middle 4 courses with them. Lots of extra real estate on fretboard of course, but WOULD IT WORK? Is the GA body just too big?
I suppose I could just retune the last four strings (though the first two would have octaves) and give it a try?
Thoughts?
