Dunlop Heavy Core strings

[Rex Rocker]

Kyle, you can order custom sets from most D'Addario dealers.

I used their standard 11-56 for a while but wasn't digging how light the 2nd and 3rd string were...

So I ordered an 11-15-24w-32-44-56 set from World of Strings. They don't charge me much more than what a regular set costs.

Only downside is all the ball ends of the strings are brass instead of the nice D'Ad colors from the standard sets, but oh well... lol

I wish I could use Daddarios, but they just do not make a gauge that I like. Right now I use the EB 11-54 sets. My vibrato just annihilates strings after a while. FML

Can it really be true that you're not aware of www.juststrings.org? And I tried the heavy core 12-54 set on my baritone (B-standard) but they were way too loose; may give the 7-string set a shot though!

^^Juststrings.com bulk strings = unmarked D'addario. 12 sets for about 38 shipped = can't go wrong.


Well, you can, but you'd be a goddamned retard.

it's funny now that i read this thread since it's the exact same reason i switched from Ernie Balls to Daddarios. At first i tried Daddarios because i really like the tension balance of their 52-11 6-string set. I recently started realizing that i'm changing strings way less frequently :Spin:

Dont you guys like GHS? I feel they last longer than Daddario here with 85% air humidity.

 

[JeffTD]

I've found GHS to sound/feel small and tinny on my instruments. Feels kind of like inferior metal for some reason, really not into it.

I have the GHS Gilmour Gibson Signature set on my Epiphone, since I dig the combination of 12's for low and 10's for highs on the 24.75'' scale.
They play and sound quite cool live and for rehearsal, but I think they die sooner on me than D'Addarios.
Dunno yet which strings to take with that guitar for serious recording...10's D'Addarios worked good last time on the 25.5'' guitar.

Wanted to try out the heavy cores, but since so many of you say they die too soon I'm gonna stay away from them...also more a fan of D'Addario than Earnie Ball here!
