THanks for that.Yes they seem alot "faster" to play.I bought the guitar 2 weeks ago so the strings are brand new.Im trying to play rock n roll(Falsom Prison,Matcbox etc) and not sure whether changing the strings will lend itself more to this type of "sound".I was playing my mates Epiphone Gibson(with steel strings) until I bought the Cort and(although I'm trying not admit it to myseslf) the sound is better.What gauge do you recomend if i decide to change?

Topic: Guitar strings?? (14 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Having recently bought a Cort Yorktown semi I am usure which strings are fitted to it.They are not the usual steel type more like a "smooth" steel.i would like to know what sort of strings they are,the guy who sold it to me told me but i have a memory like a goldfish....what was i talking about?....oh and secondly can i change them to traditional steel strings as i'm not that impressed with the sound of them now.Would this improve the sound quality??Or would they not suit this guitar??

Re: Washing machine boogie (3 replies, posted in Song requests)
Hi Pete
Not sure who the original artist is but has been covered by many a band since it was written(i think) around 1947.The chords are conventional A,E,B7.Not sure if you know the song but see it on Youtube for more info.
Thanks

Re: Wesley Tupelo (2 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Yeah
A store in or around London has them.Do an ebay search on them and you should find one there.Its jet black in colour and looks very smart.The accompanying youtube video shows a chap playing and the sound is magic.
I realise the guitar market is huge so maybe its not suprising theres little response for it
Cheers and thanks anyway
