sytraxiplague Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 What are the best strings to use for my Steinberger GM4S? I didn't want to post this on the Steinberger World forum because it is so full of people and I probably wouldn't get a response because there's so much traffic. So what type of Double Ball strings should I get? If you have any suggestions, please send me a link to it, Thanks, Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is really no specific set for the S-Trem. If you have a T-Trem you would need calibrated strings. Is this what you meant? Or am I still missing the question?

That's all i needed to know, but would calibrated strings work BEST for the S-Trem? or only for T-Trem? basically what are the BEST strings for the S-Trem, brand, and type (Gauge is my preference)?

La Bella 10-46 S-1046 is what comes on the USA Steinbergers. By the way those are links in the previous posts. You can't tell unless you mouse over them.

sytraxiplague Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 I also wanted to know something about the tuning. Apparently the GM4S's (as all steinbergers) Have a 40:1 tuning ratio. Is that the standard for most guitars or is that really good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 14:1 or at best 18:1 is more normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sytraxiplague Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 14:1 or at best 18:1 is more normal. That's the average best? So how does the steinberger stand up to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Well the Steinberger stays in tune better without locking nuts etc. The floyd Rose fine tuner is a better ratio but it can barley tune a semitone. The other advantage is you can remove the strings and replace them as many times as you like without them breaking, not to mention very easy string changes. There is one Tuner with the same ratio ,the LSR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
