Anyone have thoughts on how a Pisgah would play with nylgut, as opposed to metal strings. I'm imagine the 5th string nut would need to be enlarged, but other than that, can folks see any other issues or problems. I don't have a Pisgah at this point in time, but I've been thinking about getting a fretless one, only I would like for it to have nylgut strings. Thanks for any thoughts.
