3rd 'G' string
Has anybody tried a plain--unwound-- 3rd G string, as it appears the 3rd wound string that dies first? (On gypsy strings that is.) I do know that a wound 3rd does add more depth to the string but if you did use a plain 3rd what string gauge did you use? Did it suit the guitar? Your thoughts on the subject?

Huh I didn't know the G string was known for that...for me, it's pretty much always the high E, although I have noticed the B and G tend to go stale more quickly now that I'm using way more vibrato than I used to.
Anyway, don't have an answer to your question but I do remember trying an unwound G way back in the day on a flat top and if memory serves it was pretty bad...or certainly enough that I never considered repeating it again haha
Remi Harris does this - he puts electric guitar strings on G B and E.
