@andyy23 That's one sweet Angelus man! Couple of quick-takes from my part of the world. Odd stuff, humidity. My Angelus arrived out of the box with a little buzz around 12 E as well but after letting her sit and soak up some seaside humid (I live right on the shore) for about 48 hours it went...

See, now I just think it's a wardrobe issue personally. All that monochrome, with a mannerly tip of the hat to Sir 'Cash, in order of course. Maybe the guitar needs some character, then we'd be looking at it instead of, well...

"my guitar choice is the A60E which has warmer tones from the get-go. Had I chosen a A50E, I might have needed heavier strings to obtain the same tone as a A60E with lighter gauge strings." Good stuff 'Picker and thank you. That tells me a lot right there about the string and the guitar as...

Just my totally amateur observations here because the question you are asking is exactly the same one I struggled with before finally settling with the brand new A60E that was just delivered to me here last week. I have to say immediately the ziracote is not only jaw dropping in appearance but...

...dude you made me shoot coffee out of my nose over here with the 'wife not impressed' stuff. Let's just say that I can relate. Cheers from Alaska, Mark
