great Lee! just another question: is the gap of the group strings spacing in the middle uncomfortable or not?

Post Re: NS strings question
From the SE webpage:

String spacing at bridge: 4 melody strings .450" (11.43mm),
4 bass strings .590" (14.98mm),
Group spacing .590" (14.98mm)
String spacing at nut: .310" (7.87mm)

On the NS, the group spacing is the *same* as the bottom string spacing. This leaves a consistent spacing on the bottom *5* strings (B-G), which is very useful for plucking.

I found the string spacing in general quite generous after coming from a much more narrowly spaced instrument (I had a Megatar for a bit). The wider spacing on the bottom strings is also one of the reasons I went with the NS instead of the SB8.
