Re: strings and strats

reverbrob - 06 Sep 2004 00:46:07

Funny thing about string gauges. No matter what I try, I just can't
get a Strat to feel or sound right with anything below twelves (for
surf instro). Seems like a handful of mush even just going down to
elevens. BUT--- for general rock and roll and country, I think
snappy little tens and elevens on something like a Telecaster sound
WAY better--- anything heavier is too meaty and loses the twang.
So it depends on the turf, I guess.
