Re: OT: Update on my mini jazz archtop guitar ("The Little Mammoth")
Very interesting. I've got a 485mm scale Breedlove Passport strung with 13's, but it's also tuned a fourth higher. I've also done a lot of playing on 610mm scale Larrivee parlor guitars, which I also string with 13's at standard. The 12's it shipped with were a bit slinky for an acoustic. And then at the other end of the range, there's the 736mm scale Tacoma Baritone which goes from 17 to 70, a fourth down from standard. It's interesting how dinky a regular guitar sounds after you've gotten used to that, which emphasizes the somwhat arbitrary nature of "standard" scale and pitch these days.

Sorry. String guage is 12s. The D'Addario Chromes,
flatwounds. However, I may go to 13s. The stiffer and fatter the
better.
