No Strings Attached

I had read recently that Silk and Steel strings are nice on small body guitars, so I bought some.

First I removed the Bronze Phosphors I had on my Washburn R320SWRK and cleaned it and conditioned the fingerboard.

I took this photo while the strings were off and stirred it around with some Photoshoppery.

The strings are pretty nice. Sound good and they're a little softer.

This week's #earlybanjototw is "Pea Nut Girl" by W.H. Gassner, from James Buckley's 1868 banjo guide. I gave it more of an #earlyjazz treatment here with #plectrumbanjo and #parlorguitar:
