Topic: Need bigger fingurs...

I got my first Acoustic yesterday.. Another Greg Bennett, yet this one is a twelve string. I am loving the sound.

Its gonna improve the strength in my left hand it hard to get the strings down behind the frets. The tips of my Fingers are sore this morning.

A quick question.....   Do you string them with the fat string above the thin or vise verser. Mine is strung Thin string to Top....

I will do a review in a couple of weeks when I get to know her a bit better.

If anyone remembers an older post when mentioning that another one of my Greg Bennett's reminds me of 70s Porn..Therefore I named that one Anni after the first porn movie I saw called little oral Anni. I now name all me Greg Bennett's in what I consider to be pawn star names. 

Me new 12 string is named Deep Star default/tongue  default/tongue   default/tongue  default/tongue  default/tongue  default/tongue  default/tongue  default/tongue  default/tongue

Imagine if the words of Imagine ever came true.....

Re: Need bigger fingurs...

What concerns me is that it is hurting the tips of your fingers. How high is your action.

re fingers: dont forget you're now pushing down 2 strings instead of one + the unevenness
of the thick and thin strings ( E A D G )
