What string gauge/tuning does Rig-Talk like?

10s in Eb, using the new Ernie Ball coated strings which I'm really digging (no weird plastic or anything, just an unnoticeably thin layer of titanium :rock: )

I have a cheap iceman that I recently acquired and want to use for drop C# and I'm still debating what gauges to use. Thinking 10-52.

9-42s on everything. Eb tuning.

+1

I use D'Addario EXL120s.


Boomers for me. I did however try a set of the EVH strings because they were the only set of 9-42's the rinky dink shop in my town had. I really like them. They seem super bright to me.
 
DR 12-54 Eb on my floyded Jackson KV4. I used elixirs forever until I had to move up to 12s but nowhere stocks elixirs that thick around me so I switched to the DRs. They're ok but I like the elixirs better :cry:

I just started using the Enie Ball Titaniums also. Digging them so far.
 
LP Std tuned to D or C# - -DR Pure Blues 12-52
Strat tuned E, drop D, or Eb - DR Pure Blues 11-50 or GHS Burnished Nickel 11-50
Kramer Ferrington Acoustic - Diaddario Flat tops - 13-54 in E, open D, or C, G, C, G, G, E
 
Been using 9's for the last 25 years. Might switch to 10's. Last time I tried they felt too stiff to play. SO I took them off within a hour. Maybe should of given more time.
I am usually tuned to E or E flat.
Keep my low E Fine tuner on my Floyd cranked down so I have the ability to drop that to D when needed. :thumbsup:

Well we dont want you to break a nail ;) :lol: :LOL:
 
10-46 Dunlop Zakk Wylde strings for 24.75" scale in E or Eb
They have Dunlop High Tension on the wound strings. Seems to work as they feel stiffer than a normal 10-46 set.

Might go back to 10-52 soon though.

I need only my pinky nail. It helps me hold the Cork when Cork Sniffing while playing my Dumble. :lol: :LOL:
 
10-46 tuned to D standard on the super-strats (for the classical/neo-progressive style)

9-42's on the strats/charvel's tuned to Eb (classic rock/80's/ blues/noodling)

GHS for the 10's, EB for the 9's.
