I would also add: Strings can make all the difference. 'Smith Medium Taper Cores (steels)' are what I've always used on my Smiths. Tried others (only out of curiosity), however, ALWAYS went back to the Smith Taper Cores. If you're looking for more of a 60's/Motown sound, try 'Smith Slick Rounds'. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
