another question about the gear

[bcrich848]

so what kinda strings do you guys use on your guitars? and also, what gauge?

I (Peter) use Dean Markley 11-52 and Patrick uses D'addario 10-46.:Spin:

Damn, Pat uses 10-46's in C? That's very thin for 2 steps down.

seriously. i dont know how the hell you guys can play with your strings so loose....but then again, you do know what youre doing

 

[Brad Riffs]

.10's seems pretty light. I use .13's in B and C. Gotta have it TIGHT.

 

[mosh potatoes]

i use .9s and tune to drop D down half step...light strings are the way to go man, they feel so much better than thicker strings

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

To each his own. I use .13s in standered.

 

[sorceron]

i also use 13's but in c standard

I don't understand how you all can play with such thick strings!!!! I have one guitar with a floyd that is tuned to standard qith 10-46s and one fixed bridge with 11-52' that is usually C standard or D standard.

It's all just personal preference. In Flames uses 13-60's in C tuning and Stevie Ray Vaughn used 13-56's in Eb.
