Hi folks,
For as long as I can remember I had always used Ernie Ball Super Slinky .009-.042
Not too long ago, I decided I wanted to branch out. At first I stuck with EB strings, and got the Cobalt 010-.046. Well I immediately liked them, they played better, felt better and sounded better.
I also tried a pack of the Elixir Strings Nanoweb .010-.046, which I did not like. They lasted about a week, I just didn’t like the feel. And I guess I have battery acid leaking from my fingers, because the coating had already started to break down. At least that’s what it looked like.
Since then I have started trying out different D’Addario strings. Currently my Wolf and 60s CV both have the nickel wound .010-.046. Which I have also liked, though I believe I want to try a slightly heavier gauge. I also have a pack of their Chromes flat wound .010-.048 that I’m going to try on my Wolf this week.
I know Jerry played Vinci strings .010 -.046 and sometimes using a .011 on the High e.
I have this in the Jerry Tone section, but it’s more of a general question. Just wondering what your go to strings are either way?
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Edit- I’m obviously talking about electric guitar strings primarily, but I also wouldn’t mind hearing what you guys go for with your acoustic?
