Couple questions... (and thanks in advance to whoever answers!) 1. what's a neck and a fingerboard? And which has more of an impact on tone? 2. body and fingerboard wood; which has more of an impact on tone? 3. difference between HSS & SSS? (tone wise, of a fender strat) 4. does finish impact tone as well? (gloss, gloss polyurethane, and satin finishes) You don't have to know all the answers, but if you know some I would appreciate it!

So I needed to change the strings on my Brook acoustic - a small jumbo with a lovely, lively sound but well balanced. Anywa, I decided to try some coated strings to see how they worked and for a bit of extra in-case longevity. Normally I’ve used phosphor bronze strings on all my guitars before this but I bought some 80/20 bronze Elixirs and I hate them. The sound is horribly mid ranged and honky both acoustically and through the LR Baggs Dual Source pickup system. As I just DI straight in pulling back the mid on my EQ isn’t an option and the pickup system just has Vol and Piezo/Mic blend onboard. So anyone had experience with more mellow, even sounding coated strings? Should I try the Elixir Phosphor Bronze strings? Or is there another brand/type you might recommend for a nice, even, mellow sound. Ta.
