Sam B	Re: g-string MWT, That would depend on who is wearing it. Sorry, I couldn't resist! Certainly the biggest advantage would be easier string bending. Another would be easier fretting of the string, twangier sound, (if that's what you want). A wound string will give you a warmer tone, bigger sound, because of the increased mass of the string. Last but not least, all of these could be considered advantages or disadvantages depending on what you're looking for. Sam
