I was playing a used Alvarez RD8 this weekend and the strings had an elasticy or rubbery feel as I coming down hard on the strings with my .60mm pick. This feel is in contrast to my own guitar strings that give off a more metallicy sound and feel. I have Martin Lifespan SPs on mine and I am not sure what was on the Alvarez. I liked the feel of the Alvarez and I was wondering, could it simply be the strings that make that difference? Or am I just insane?
Well insanity should not be ruled out because it is always possible that you are insane AND the guitar felt springy. Different guitars and strings certainly have different feels. There are a lot of factors that could affect the feel you're talking about. The action of the guitar, and the material, manufacturing, and thickness of the strings all come to mind. Even humidity and temperature may have had something to do with it.
