And new strings on.

Pretty much? Do they work with any tuning?

Paddy

That's a very BROAD question - they work on every popular tuning I have tried

I didn't say EVERY in case someone found an exception to the rule - Eg -tuning down so low that only Whales can hear it

Slightly off topic but has anyone else noticed that if you play a guitar and by accident the body rests against the arm of a chair the guitar sounds slightly thicker? Didn't seem to translate through an amp though :/

Put the headstock against the speaker cab and it will!

To improve the acoustic tone of an electric guitar: raise the action and use heavier strings.
