The '57 Country & Western has a scale length of 24 3/4 in., same as the J-45.I assume that particular Gibson model is long scale. I wonder if the test results would be different if they used J-45.

I have my string dalliances from time to time, but I always come back to EJ16s. I'm a big fan of the company, too.I need a subscription for EJ16's.
Hmm, interesting.Very interesting! Strumming .012-.053 sounded most natural, Fingerpicking .013-.056 was a bold sound but they are true, .010-.047 was the most balanced for fingerpicking.

Oh I don't put much stock into them either Walter, and I agree.......too many variables. Heck, the difference in technique between one player and the next can and does make a remarkable difference in tone, just to cite one variable.No offense to anyone intended, but I can't stand videos like those. Too many variables. Different guitars, styles and most of all
players/people work differently with any given string gauge. Also - I'll go to accomplished acoustic specialists for guitar and string advice if or when I need it. Not to someone generating clicks for his monetized youtube channel.
