I love Tommy's playing and I very much like Tommy as a person, but Tommy's hearing is not the best. He's listened to a lot of loud electric guitar amps and he has said many times that he was born with some hearing troubles. So I'm not sure how good Tommy's hearing is regarding strings, but it's OK with me if Tommy adds a little myth to guitars and strings. I think the bottom line is that we all like to hear something different after a while.
