I've got the Extra Slinky 8-38 on my strat type axe


String tension always felt extra high on that guitar for some reason

We are about to be the thin string kimgs

Thicc. In standard.

NYXL 10-52

I will put girly man strings on strat scale guitars though, especially for long gigs

 

[Floyd Eye]

The older I get the thicker my (Guitar) strings get. Right now I am using Slinkys.

And I thought my 9 gauge strings were on the thin side, but this takes the cake.

Also guitar: 27” baritone ?

Those would be OK for G-standard tuning, but the 7 might often snap.

 

[dave74]

My ideal for E tuning would be 9-44, but I don't currently have any at E.

So, I have 10-50 Thomastik sets on my walnut topped one since it’s inception, and 10-52 Daddario on the other guitar, which will be replaced to that same caliber, because 52 sounded boomier than I like. Both in E standart 25,5”

But I was adviced to go thinner for the sake of clarity. I couldn’t decide which set to choose, so sticked to those 10-50 for now, probably will try a 9-46 or something like that sooner or later.

And what sets for other tunings?

If they were durable, it would be interesting to try tbh

Imagine bending an octave ?

11’s on very low tuned guitars of any scale length

10’s on E or Eb standard tuning PRS and Gibson scale guitars

9’s on E and Eb strats and teles

8’s on the YJM Strat
