<p>There are Nickle core Bronze acoustic strings now for better response to pickups.</p>
<p>A lot of the old Blues guys used heavier gauge strings like the low wound strings E-A-D and tuned them to a open D - D-A-D. If that doesn't do it for you get some 11 or 12 gauge strings.</p>

<p>Another thing about using Nylon strings is that you get way better volume & audio response using a direct contact pickup like a rod piezo bridge combo? </p>

<p>A common set up . is # 3 # 4 and # 5 out of a .9s or .10s pack . </p>
<p>If this is an electric cbg with a mag pickup . it is best to use "electric " strings .</p>
<p>Acoustic or piezo powered , you may like acoustic strings better. (but electric strings will still work .) you can eve use nylon .</p>
<p>Also - acoustic strings "<em>will"</em> work with a mag pickup . but it may sound " muddy".</p>
<p>Electric are steel core and nickle usually ,, Acoustic are bronze wound .…</p>

<p>What kind of tuning? Open G or A or E or D? There’s a link to the cigarboxguitar.com archives down at the bottom right of the home page about tunings and strings, there’s plenty of info there. Rich that sound you are looking for has to do with the way you play the guitar, but open G or D will get you into the delta blues?</p>
