  • The DK2 Strings...

    Hey guys,

    does anyone here know what are the stock strings Jackson uses for a DK2? My cousin loved the way they played, so he wants those strings on his guitar. Thanks!

    D'Addario 9's I think. Might be GHS or some other bulk/generic thing they get by the assload.
    I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

      Yup. Not sure of the company, but definitely gauge 9-42, nickelplated steel (NPS) strings.

      Interesting tidbit I've read about guitar strings is that there are maybe only four mass manufacturers of strings that shotgun out their strings in bulk to the various "brand name" string companies like D'Addario, GHS, Ernie Ball, Dean Markley, etc. Then, these companies do whatever to the strings, like put their fancy long-lasting coatings in some cases, wrap them up, put them in their own packaging, and sell them to the retailers. Some people can swear that they hear and feel a difference between D'Addario and Ernie Ball, for instance, when the truth could be that both came from the same original mass manufacturer. I personally can't tell D'Addario and Ernie Ball 9-46 hybrids apart, and I've used both alternatively on my Shannon. Even Carvin's own strings are just GHS Boomers in Carvin wrapping and sold very cheaply, according to Toejam. Me, I just stick to D'Addario because they're the cheapest in my local stores, and they also offer those Player's Points which I've been saving up and will use towards free merchandise...
