upstate31 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Just received my new es-339 w/ 30/60 neck and Vint. Sunburst finish. This is my first Gibson and I'm very pleased. Actually, I am blown away...what an awesome guitar. I am a small guy with small hands and th 30/60 neck is the best feeling neck I have played on. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts about the strings. What do the guys on here think about Gibson strings vs others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 That's great! Congratulations. We want pictures!!! I like Gibson strings, but I tend to use D'Addario more. Anything with nickel plating is good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillybilly Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 i really like gibson vintage reissue strings, but im not paying those prices....so i have been using EB Slinky 10s. cheap and effective. not a fan of d'addario myself, but different strokes.

Dub-T-123 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I use DR TiteFits. Contrary to the name, they're actually pretty slinky. I also like the Ernie Ball Slinkys but I just prefer DR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstate31 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thanks for all the recommendations! The more I play it, the more I'm loving the 339. I have used elixers strings in the past. But, I am growing dissasitisfied with those. I've really liked the Gibson strings that came w/ the 339. I've loved reading all the posts in here...you guys helped make my decision to go with this guitar. I'll post some pics as soon as I get a chance.

Heh, I feel the same way about my 339...I might've never checked it out if it hadn't been for this forum. Congrats, and look forward to the pics! :-) As for strings I am a die-hard Elixer guy, but that's more out of necessity as I sweat acid. I will say that I find them very bright with the 339, and may experiment with some different brands just out of "tonal curiosity"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
