djroge1 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 SRV used heavy guage strings with fairly high action and this contibuted to his power house sound. I don't like mine as high nor the strings as heavy. What say you? What are your preferences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djroge1 Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 yawn Hmmmm me thinks you're not a guitar player. Things like this matter to guitar players who are searching for the sound in their head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I can't play with those caveman strings either. I use 13-56 on some of my acoustics but I typically use 10-46 on electrics. I like low action but there reaches a point where the tone will suffer so I try to stop right before that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSG_Standard Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I'm not a big fan of heavy gauge strings, I like 09's on my Fenders and 10's on my Gibsons...I like the action fairly low too. SRV must have had some killer calluses...and strong fingers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piano's have strings. Why don't you try to find a sound with your new amp and your fingers on a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guage of string and the guitar's action greatly changes the sound. Yes piano's have strings, but one doesn't change the strings on a piano as a tool to alter the piano's sound.
