Although I used heavier bottom strings for awhile, I ended up coming back to
the Ernie Ball "Power Slinkys" (11-48). I like the fatter tone of the high
strings, and the lower strings have more "bite" without sounding muffled.
Hope this helps.
Best regards, Dana Vincent

Hi,
I had my guitar slightly modified for .054 - .011 roundwound strings
about a year ago it sounded pretty great to me. Since the tremelo on
the thing seems to have just died (I think i stripped the allen-key
screws by raising and lowering the bridge too often, or just doing
crazy things with my guitar...) I recently acquired a Danelectro
Innuendo. I've been playing on flatwound .009 strings, and it just
sounds really bland. The high strings just don't have the same twang
and sustain during chords that the ones on my old guitar did.
What kind/width/type of strings is everybody using out there? I'm
thinking the problem is with the strings and not the new guitar, but I
could be wrong. I noticed that the roundwound in general were more
muffled or 'thick?' on the E A and D, and bright on the higher G, B
and E. Am I crazy?
I don't talk about guitars with anyone, especially surfy guitars, so
excuse my ineptness.
