I like it anyway! Sounds a bit different. Definitely not for a crystal clear acoustic sound.

I was in my local guitar shop about 18 months ago and got speaking to a fella who played a Ukelele with rubber strings. He had no problem with them and actually liked them. Are they a thing on guitars too?

Seems to be. I had a Ukelele bass with rubber strings. Sounded really cool, but I couldn't get on with the sticky strings.

A Ukelele bass? Interesting concept.

A lot of the guitar on Taylor Swift's "Folklore" uses a rubber bridge guitar. Aaron Dessner is a fan

Yeah I saw this video




and was very intrigued with
1. getting a parlour
2. dicking around with it

sounds like fun, Id like to try one,  but as hessodreamy said, "to dick around with"  but for me I think the novelty would soon wear off
