Zakk Wyldes strings

[ApeDosMil]

oh man i use to use these string and they hurt my hands until i figured out i should use so much pressure.


I currently have them on my kelly and i love them. i picked up my jackson king v (which has 9 -46 or something like that) and oh man it felt like noodles.

im changing them to zakks also.

anyone else like the thick strings?

would using them help my fingers to get stronger?

I use them on my rr3...tuned down to C however. Love'em.

Re: Zakk Wyldes strings

Which ones? There's two ZW sets. From GHS' website:

Zakk Wylde GBZW 010 013 017 DY36 DY52 DY60.

Zakk Wylde - Low GBZWLO 011 014 018 DY36 DY52 DY70.


I know certain songs Zakk stays in standard tuning and only drops the low string down to B.

I have the 60. The 70 doesn't even fit into some tuners....It is really ridiculous.

A couple people on the Carvin board also have been complaining about that issue with the heavier strings going through Sperzel tuners.
I actually used 10-56 when I had my Ibanez 7-string and, while I never had a problem putting the string through and tuning up, I did have a problem getting the string out when going to put on new strings.

Those are too heavy IMHO and can do some serious damage to your guitar neck unless you set it up properly. I use 10-70 on my 7 string dropped to Eb. The rest of my guitars are set up with heavy 9's or light 10's. Custom gauge of course.
