    Bass VI Strings on an Acoustic Guitar

    I've wanted to put a set of Fender 24-100 Gauge Strings (24, 34, 44, 65, 80, 100) on my Jasmine S-35 Acoustic Guitar so I could make it into an Acoustic Bass VI that has lots of volume on a small body. What I did was to crush down the ends of the strings to have them fit into the tuners.
