Did I commit sacreliage???

[yngzaklynch]

After owning my JP6BFR for over a year I decided to try different strings. Through on the EB 9-42s. Adjusted the trem springs and the truss rodd. Plays like butta. Anyone else prefer their EBMM with 9s?

Actually i did purely cuz I'm lazy and want ease of bends. But the 10's work better I found with Piezo...so now I'm using hybrid .009 - .046 sets on both my EBMM's and lovin it.

 

[dhalif]

im on 9s

 

[Spudmurphy]

I went the other way on my JP 6 from 9's to 10's. I use 9's on my other balls.

To answer your closed question "No"

 

[dhalif]

but the 10s do work better on the piezos

 

[yngzaklynch]

I dig these but maybe will try the 9-46s next.

I went to straight 10's on my JPX. I run .13's on my BFR I also really like the hybrid set on the Morse. I had to mix and match from a set of 9's and 10's, but it's cool.

Straight 10's for me. (if it ain't broke, don't fix it)

 

[Norrin Radd]

My ALs get 10-52s or 11-54s depending on how much inner rage I believe I will be channeling.

 

[GHWelles]

9's on both mine

 

[DrKev]

9's

 

[mikeller]

9.5 - 44 on all my gtrs

 

[ScoobySteve]

I really loved the responsiveness of 9's. So fluid and smooth, and help me to even out my lead tone, but man, I broke RPS 9's like they were warm string cheese.

I'm still having trouble with 10's T_T

 

[bbake1]

I put coated 9's on everything. I buy 3123's in bulk.

 

[paranoid70]

I have had 9s on my Silos since I got em.

 

[NorM]

Pink Super Slinky's. I am not aware of any other guitar strings.

The choice of a string sets depends really on what you are playing.
I am currently playing with 10-46 strings and I will switch to 11-52 or 10-52. The main reasons for this choice are :

• for some songs I play with a slide
• I use several tuning (EADGBe, DADGBe, DADGAD, DGDGBD, F#ADGBe). When you down tune, you need heavier strings
• my hands are quite strong, thus my bends are too sharp with light strings

No sacrilege ! Play with the strings you like !

I play RPS 10's on my 25th tuned to standard. I would prefer 11's but with basswood and the ton block my lo end can flub out quite easily. I have a heavy hand as well.

For my Silo Spec, I'm using RPS 11's and I'm tued to Eb, and I would like to go to 12's or 13's. I have big hands.

I actually really want to use 9's or hybrid 9.5's because for lead tones they just sound so fluid and round, but I think I have to wait for a guitar that matches me. Maybe a JP? Hehehehe

 

[GuyOnraet]

10s on my Axis, but I play Eb.

I keep going back and forth. Not a big deal on my les pauls by a frickin' headache on my balls......
