Re: guitar string tone-more or less steel!
I use Everly B-52s in .10 gauge. Quite simply the best string you will ever find.

Re: guitar string tone-more or less steel!
I prefer pure nickel. I don't mind nickel-plated but even expensive strings are pretty cheap compared to a nice guitar. . .
I've recently gone from PRS strings to Snake Oil Strings, designed by the guy who used to make Scalars. They break in quickly and last a good long time. Oh, and they sound great, too.

YES! YES! YES! I've been telling everyone that for a while. The sound of nickel and the tarnish resistance of stainless.Originally posted by texasguitarslingerI use Everly B-52s in .10 gauge. Quite simply the best string you will ever find.

Re: guitar string tone-more or less steel!
I like and use stainless steel strings. They're hellish on frets but the overtones are incredible.Comment

Re: guitar string tone-more or less steel!
ive used steel in the past and it has lots of output and a strong top end, i tend to use nickel strings more now since i do more blues and i think the warmer tone is more suited to that style.Comment

Re: guitar string tone-more or less steel!

Re: guitar string tone-more or less steel!
I think Everly says they use more Iron? DR sayd their compression winding makes a huge difference.Comment

Re: guitar string tone-more or less steel!
I don't know how more iron could help prevent tarnish, doesn't iron tarnish easier than nickel and steel? Confused2004 50th Anniversary Deluxe American Strat, SETH-N BRIDGE, ANT 2 SURFER MIDDLE, ANT 2 DLX MINI HUM NECK

Re: guitar string tone-more or less steel!
expensive, big hype with the little clear coat deal they have goin on. I'd rather wipe my strings down after every set than pay for elixirs.2004 50th Anniversary Deluxe American Strat, SETH-N BRIDGE, ANT 2 SURFER MIDDLE, ANT 2 DLX MINI HUM NECK
