What Gauge of electric strings do you use and why?
Also, what type of music do you prefer to play with each type of gauge?
I like regular slinkys the most.
Hey There
I use .009 ernie balls for mostly all rock, heavy music, etc...recordings.
I use .010 on my old Les Paul 1963 for a jazz feeling and more gutsy blues sound. I prefer the .009 on my Jackson because it resoponds better on the high end and secondly, for the guitar sweeps and arpeggios when using the front pickup.
Lastly, it is less hard on the neck in the long run and no chance of the neck warping and having intonation issues.
