SB59 / anyone top wrap? - Be12C - 02-18-2024
I've been mostly playing acoustic and have sold most of my electrics. I never could get into playing Les Paul's but then again only tried some of the cheaper ones. Just picked up a SB59 varnish and love it. I was wondering if anyone is top wrapping or not. Being more at home with acoustic I worry about bending cords out of tune if the strings get too slinky. The SB59 gives me the warmth I get from my acoustics. I have a E20OO, E20OOSS/V, E20SS, and a couple of Emerald carbon fiber acoustics which I highly recommend. It is just ridiculously difficult to find better guitars for the money than an Eastman...

Hi Be12C
I top wrap my SB59, because the distance from tailpiece to bridge is short and the angle of the strings seemed to be too steep for me. Noticed no change in string tension. Plays great!
Have a nice weekend
