Subj : Re: Acoustic or Spanish? To : Oliver Katigbak From : Gary Gilmore Date : Mon Nov 13 2000 06:52 am OK> I guess the bridge will break, right? The bridge could be damaged or even pulled right off the body, the neck can warp (or in extreme cases, break), the top can be damaged, etc. The tension of steel strings is much higher than those of nylon or gut strings, which is the reason you should never use steel strings on a guitar designed for nylon/gut strings. You *will* eventually damage it. --gary --- Maximus 3.01 * Origin: Support your local Guitar Tech! * (313)582-0888 (1:2410/400) .
