hmmm anyone used gibson strings before?

 

[re_unknown]

Curt Mangan RAWKS.
CMs on a Schecter, played with CM curtex picks, practically stock everything from G77.

Ernie Balls rust fast isit?

 

[subversion]

i used the Gibson strings before- nothing special, one of the most uninteresting i've come across...

 

[edder]

most of the guitar strings with a well known guitar brand attached to it are uninteresting.

I like DR, EH and Elixir.

DR IMHO last quite long, EH cos I'm the dealer and it sounds decent enough and Elixir cos its coated and will sorta last almost forever if you don't use your guitars often. I plan to use them on my favourite but less played guitars... heh heh.... only thing is its almost triple the price.

nightblade: ooh okay. i noticed nobody mentioned about D'addario strings ahah

i'm still using D'Addario strings on days when i'm bored (not alluding to their quality) because they are the very few manufacturers which offer the .0095 gauge...

hey loosecoins

i used to use dean markley nickelsteel .9s before i changed to curt mangan. dean markley seemed to lose tonal quality pretty fast.. and strings get rusty pretty fast too, as compared to CM, under the same conditions.

 

[subversion]

Dean Markleys like Ernie Ball, feels/ sounds great when they are fresh. i used to play both & the dead feel made me replace them even if they aren't quite rusty yet...

there's Curt Mangan review @ review database 8)

 

[Hydrofly]

Blue steel .11-.52

 

[LooseCoins]

actually i cant tell the tonal difference as i change my strings quite often but it sure rust pretty fast.anyway where to get the Curt Mangan strings? i think im gonna try this. thanks for the advice dom.

 

[lifele55]

Curt Mangans, try Guitar 77.

 

[subversion]

strings affect feel more than tone, unless you are indulgent in the thicker gauges- these sound more twangy with a suitable action 8)

 

[shioks76]

d addarios 10-46.

Like it cos its completely fresh from the package. Also at $45 for a set of 10 from davis its almost a no brainer for me.

 

[Weiht]

I use 10-46. Ernie balls has a nice twang to it on my guitar, but RUST too fast.

CUrrently using curt mangan, great feel to it. EH also not bad, i was surprised. Just tried this brand called darko if im rite, from citymusic, also not bad for $5

[Gr3y]

i use both ernie ball and everly strings..

 

[symym]

D'Addario 0.09-0.42 for me.
I like the tone and the feel of it. If cared for properly, the freshness can last about 2 months?

Satch uses them!!!

 

[Gr3y]
