I've got the Extra Slinky 8-38 on my strat type axe


String tension always felt extra high on that guitar for some reason

We are about to be the thin string kimgs

Thicc. In standard.

NYXL 10-52

I will put girly man strings on strat scale guitars though, especially for long gigs

 

[Floyd Eye]

The older I get the thicker my (Guitar) strings get. Right now I am using Slinkys.

And I thought my 9 gauge strings were on the thin side, but this takes the cake.

Also guitar: 27” baritone

Those would be OK for G-standard tuning, but the 7 might often snap.

 

[dave74]

My ideal for E tuning would be 9-44, but I don't currently have any at E.

So, I have 10-50 Thomastik sets on my walnut topped one since it’s inception, and 10-52 Daddario on the other guitar, which will be replaced to that same caliber, because 52 sounded boomier than I like. Both in E standart 25,5”

But I was adviced to go thinner for the sake of clarity. I couldn’t decide which set to choose, so sticked to those 10-50 for now, probably will try a 9-46 or something like that sooner or later.

And what sets for other tunings?

If they were durable, it would be interesting to try tbh

Imagine bending an octave

11’s on very low tuned guitars of any scale length

10’s on E or Eb standard tuning PRS and Gibson scale guitars

9’s on E and Eb strats and teles

8’s on the YJM Strat
