Samurai Joined: Mar 14, 2006 Posts: 2145 Kiev, Ukraine	Posted on Nov 03 2023 02:18 AM Decided to try these 10-49 with wound G (thanks, Ivan!) and they seem to be perfect. Still use 11-48 on Jazzmaster (and on my Gretsches) and 12-52 flats on Jaguar. — Waikiki Makaki surf-rock band from Ukraine New Single is out! https://waikikimakaki.bandcamp.com/album/rhino-blues-full-contact-surf-single Waikiki Makaki https://linktr.ee/waikikimakaki Lost Diver https://lostdiver.bandcamp.com https://soundcloud.com/vitaly-yakushin Top
