Last year I did this to my '99 Collectors for about 4 months and, to my ear, it's never been the same since. Both g8r and Iffy have heard the guitar and said that it just doesn't sound right. I'm trying to come with reasons why it might have changed, because it used to have a nice, full sound.

Something else has got to be the culprit ... unless that guitar sounded so damn good strung Nashville that no other stringing will sound right from now on. ;)
