                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I like the balance and brightness of 3 and 3 (10's) on my electrics but prefer the wound G (11's) on my acoustic to tone it down a little. <br><br>So I guess I am voting for both depending on the application.<br><br>I have trouble with polls.  Whats better Strat or LP, I like em both.  Whats better tube or other, I like em both. Whats better wound or unwound G, I like em both.  See the trap I am in here :lol:]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Whenever I wanted to doodle away with myself on the guitar, I felt I was restricted to the top two (unwound) strings, because whenever I tried to incorporate the wound third (G) string, the difference in tone sounded very. . . strange.<br>So I finally put on some new strings, and decided to put on an unwound third string. It feels more comfortable, so now I play power chords on the bass strings, and solo on the upper three strings without getting a huge difference in tone quality. It's new, but I figure I'll get used to it, and I like it so far.<br>That's my reasoning, now let's hear yours. 8)]]></content:encoded>
