Members michael5853 Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 I have a couple Tele's and have been using DR Strings, Tite-Fit LT-9 Lite-n-Tite Nickel Plated, which are good for me but I recently purchased a Tele with a 3-barrel string-thru-body bridge. Intonation is ok but I was wondering if there might be a brand of strings that might be better. Thanks in advance for the feedback.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BydoEmpire Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 It really depends what you want - tone-, feel- and lifespan-wise. What are you looking for? Brighter tone? Smoother tone? Longer life? Slinkier feel?Personally, I use Elixer Nanowebs on all my electrics, although they're not great for slide. I did put a set of Cobalts on my Les Paul a month ago and I liked them a lot, too. Not enough to swtich, but they were cool and worth of the hype, imho. I never really prefered specific brands for specific guitars, though I could see some folks doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Help!I'maRock! Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 there's no such thing as "best strings for a type of guitar". if you like DRs, play DR. if you want to try another brand, try another brand. it's all subjective.

Members gardo Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 If the strings are okay for you why change?What is it you are looking for? Brighter ? More Vintage? More twang? Smoother?Everyone has a favorite that helps them achive "their sound" .What is your sound / style of musc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mad Tele Posted February 10, 2013 Members Share Posted February 10, 2013 if youre looking for improved intonation try 10-52s (light top/bottom heavy) a lot of tele people use this, IIRC Waylon and Don Rich. I dont like them because I feel you lose some twang on the lower strings. I use 9-42 EB if that doesnt help get some intonated saddles. I like CJ Tooling as they are only $25 and dont look all goofy.
