Strings gauges

[Thoraby]

What string gauges do you currently have on your Jackson/Charvels and what do you tune to?? I have my Dinky setup with 9's and I tune to standard E (440).

Re: Strings gauges

The guy who owns a local shop has a stringwinder and sells LOTS of strings for $3.00 a set, I use his 10-48 set, and Ernie ball 10-52's for drop-c. Or just whatevers lying around.

Re: Strings gauges

I've been using Dean Markley 9-42 on standard tuning. However, I've been thinking about putting 10's on more. For me, at least, it seems that I can pick faster/cleaner with 10's than with my 9's. It could be just the guitar.

Re: Strings gauges

Joe, its not just the guitar. Heavier strings stay in place way better alowing you to crosspick faster and cleaner without "backing off" all the time.
Thats what I found, anyway. One of the many reasons why i went to heavy strings.

Re: Strings gauges

Ernieball 10-46 for regular E tuning. I also tune to low Bb, for that I use one of my 10-46 sets, get rid of the high E and use a GHS 60 for the low Bb.

Re: Strings gauges

GHS Boomers or Carvin strings (10-46) on my Charvel, Jacksons and Carvin guitars in standard, E-flat, D, Drop-D or Drop-D flat tuning.

9-42 GHS Boomers or GHS Burnished Nickel in standard tuning on my Fender Double Fat Strat.

D'Addario 9-46 (half a 9 set on higher strings, half a 10 set on lower strings) on my Hamer. I may soon put EB Power Slinky 11s on it (11-48).

Re: Strings gauges

10-46 D'Addarios tuned to Eb. (Eb to help compensate for my vocal [in]abilties.)

Re: Strings gauges

I usually string up with 11's, but I've got a couple with 13's. One in standard the other in B# (yes, I know. I invented it. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ). The others are strung mostly with 9's and 10's since I haven't bought strings in a while.

[xenophobe]

Re: Strings gauges

9's mostly... 10's on guitars I have tuned lower than D...

I've got gutiars in E, Eb, Db, C#... etc...
