I carefully saved the original strings that had been on there for 56 years, though I doubt I'll ever use them. The neck is now retaining it's straightness and the guitar is easier to play which is what I bought it for. I just need a Watkins Dominator amplifier in light blue from the same period and I'll be a happy bunny.
