AndyK Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I've used Gibson Vintage Reissues for many years now. I used to be 009 man, but the shop who sold me the Firebird told me to stick with the 010s. I'm now pretty much used to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebrafirebird Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thomastik Infield Sliders in .009's worth every penny. I used to use Thomastik Infield BeBop light top/heavy bottom, but switched to sliders for more squeel on demand without sounding too thin otherwise.

foofighterjase Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Now that sounds interesting Zebra i must say!! Do you get any string buzz on the top strings with those at all dude??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treedroppings Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ernie Ball 11-48, they are a little harder to play on the upper frets, but no other problems. My strat has 11-48 and I love it because I'm NOT delicate with my picking and I'm not breaking strings too often. I'm thinking of 12-50 or 11-50 since it would tighten up the bass strings for my right hand WindMill style. its a 2012 FV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

45slinger Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 EB .011-.054's on mine. I play .011's on just about all my electrics but the Beefy Slinky's really tighten things up on the Firebird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
