Thinner strings for Yamaha SLG-120NW silent guitar
Azazzell
CanadaNew
A second hand Yamaha SLG-120NW classical silent guitar popped up, and I figured it would be pretty decent for practicing late at night. It does work quite nicely, but of course the nylon D'Addario EJ27N strings are a lot thicker, especially the trebles.
Are there any kind of thinner classical guitar strings that I could use, to get closer to a steel string feeling ?
Comments
You could try Galli silk and steel strings. But maybe look into the string tension, or ask Yamaha first.
Wouldn't any kind of steel strings just bend the neck and damage a classical guitar, because it doesn't have a truss rod ?
Thomastik Infeld KR110 for example do have less tension than normal steel strings, you can hear them here:
Pyramid and Gewa have steelstrings for classical guitars too, but I don't know how good they are.
I found a KF110 and a KR116, but no KR110. Is it just a typo ?

You are right, a typo. The correct name is KF110 Classic S Series ballend.
