What a wholesome and real person, and one who understands artistry, journey, and expression. Yvette's music is beautiful, and her style is unique. Thanks for sharing this. As a fellow guitarist, I find it quite inspiring.

What an amazing artist ❤

[@MashaT22]

Thanks for showcasing such a real human being who makes this instrument her own and an extension of her life journey! I’m surprised Yvette doesn’t use XT’s, which are coated with all the tactile feeling as naked strings. It would extend the life of her strings even further. I wonder if she’s ever tried them. Perhaps it’s a tonal decision? NYXL might be a tad brighter (like XS) than the balanced XT’s. I use both XT and XS - XT’s on acoustic and XS on electric.

[@Dankmuffinz]

One of my favorite musicians out there today
