Michael Romeo strings

I wonder what strings does he use and it is good to put 11-49 on guitars with floyds in D tuning.

1) He's using D'Addario 1046.
2) Yes, you can put even 13-60 on a guitar with a floyd in D if you like. But you'll have to adjust the neck bow. And I'm not sure you're gonna cope with the addend tension on your fingers. The floyd might need more springs too and will need a setup for sure. 11-49 seems like a good idea, I tried 1046 and it was waaaay too floppy for me. I like 1046 in Eb.

thanks, I am not sure, I have 1046 on D, and it isn't too floppy for me, so I think I will stay on that.

And what do you think, Rotten sound (if I typed it wright), Ernie Ball or Di' Addario, which strings give longest good sound?

I play on elixer 10-46's and they have lasted me about 6 months now and still sound new

Uncoated strings have a pretty similar lifespan, IMO. I think it's best to go with what feels best for you.

I use ernie ball hybrid slinkies, nice light action on the top and normal gauge on the low to keep the crunch. Elixers are nice but abit too costly for me, i just use a string coat spray i got from our local shop works pretty good. I dont like heavy gauge strings too loose for me and im too lazy to adjust my guitar lol

D'Addario 9's for standard tuning. Wiping your strings with a cloth after playing helps their life span immensely.

And it stops that nasty ass buildup on your fret board(im guily of letting that one slip hehe)
