zigzag Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 10s on solid bodies, 11s with wound 3rd on hollow and semi-hollow. Going with 11 flat wound on SH550 when it comes in. 12 on acoustic. All set low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidl Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Depends on the guitar. On my R0, my action is set at about 1.5 /64ths at the high E and 3/64 at the low. Pretty low. On the ES-339, it is set at factory height of 3/64 at the high E and 5/64 at the low for medium action. 10's on all my electrics with medium picks. Used to use 9's but now find them too flimsy.

EVOL! Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Medium action 11's only on my electrics, 12s on my acoustics Thin picks I play hard and am very ham handed so I need strings and action that won't wimp out while lighter picks give me some wiggle room. If you want a finesse player I ain't it. Bends with 9's and 10's go right off the fretboard and break by the second song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Low Action (almost buzzing) 10's Ernie Balls Thin Pick but could almost be considered Medium since I hold the pick sideways and use the grip area on the strings for bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 low action 10s These picks, medium guage (bring me luck) When I finally learn slide I'll raise the action and use 11s on one of the guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
