Aha - Jon suggests that I get rid of the GHS strings and fit some aquilas (I must say aquilas made a world of difference to my old Mahalo - yes - I hold my hand up proudly.... I love my old Mahalo :-)
And he also suggests that I might lower the action a bit by dropping the slots in the nut by a whisper.
Ive changed the strings....... and now im waiting for them to settle before I can play it - but ive already got a sense that its going to sound (and play?) much better.
We shall wait and see. In the meantime make sure you have a look at the aquila website - its a fascinating insight into the world of "strings" - No, REALLY - it is! :-)
