Members jfaaz Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 I use 11s on my Gibson ES-335, 13's on my Taylor acoustic, and I am now having my Gibson SG Standard set up with 10s. I'm used to playing with 11s on the SG, but I feel the action may be better with 10s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members charveldan Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 SRV's former tech and Santana's current tech Rene' Martinez has his own line of strings called Santana Big Core strings,their pure nickel wrap, brite, but not as brite as steel/nickel plate reg boomers,check them out at musicians friend gauge i use is custom lite .0095 to .048 i highly recomend this brand. They work well with anything including Floyd Rose set-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ugameus Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 I voted for 11's as I prefer those over 10's on electric, but I really use light top heavy bottom strings, gauges 10-13-17-30-42-52. for acoustic I use 12's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members snaredrum Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 i've been working my fingers up - i used hybrid slinkys for ges, then upgraded to rotosound yellows. recently i've started using rotosound blues (hybrid 10-11s) and they rule. so much sound and feel!

Members jtr654 Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 In the 70's I used gibson sonomatic strings on 24.75 scales10/13/17/28/44/56 they stayed in tune really well. In the 80's modern bridges wouldn't take that big of strings so I went with 10-52 on 24.75 & 10-46or 48 on 25.5 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members elvisart Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 Used to use 8's, then 9's. 30 years later I'm on to 10's. Prolly won't go any heavier though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kelly Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 10s. Balls on the PRS and Ibanez, GHS Burnished Nickel on the Strat. I'll be switching over to the GHS on all axes next time around. They have a little more tension, but nice tone and no intonation issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cg_25 Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 This isn't a very good poll. Many string manufacturers offer other alternative options such as heavy bottoms and light tops. Consider revising the poll decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
