hi I really only play classical guitar and was wondering if anyone has tried to use the Thomastic steel core classical string with a Triple Play yet

"Classical guitar" does not mean nylon strings?

Don Bird

Yes classical is nylon but thomastik make a steel core nylon wound strings that work on magnet pickup electric guitars, but the winding might be too much for the tripleplay

Thanks for that Brakman, now ill try and find how good the tracking is with the rolands comparred to other strings and that should give me the answer

QuoteThe strings are about three times the price of a normal nylon set but worth every penny. One of the amazing things about the above mentioned Thomastic Infeld KR116 strings is that they have a steel rope core. This means they will work with conventional magnetic pickups, including Roland GK type pickups. I've also fitted these strings to my Glissentar which made a remarkable difference to the playability of the instrument. A Roland GK pickup can then be used on the Glissentar, it works perfectly, even if one of the dual course strings is slightly out of tune. - See more at: http://www.unfretted.com/hardware/

This sounds very interesting to me. If these strings work ok with a GK then I can't think of any obvious reason why they wouldn't work with a FTP. But has anyone done it yet?
