String material change and pull changes

Post by James Maxwell »

If you change from a steel to a nickle string or vice versa (same gauge), would you have to readjust your pulls?

Nothing that I have had to re-rod. Just tune a little bit. No big deal. Go ahead and experiment, you should be fine :)

If the strings are the same core size, and the outer diameter is same, they should be very close to same amount of pull.

Thanx,
