  • Finally a new string brand? I am too niche for you!

    Custom string gauge:

    0.115
    0.15
    0.18
    0.24
    0.34
    0.50

    Yes that is an 11-and-a-half high-Eb. Yes, I am special.

    It took Nakedstrings.com a month to ship due to supply problems, but they seem to have been worth the wait. Very slinky-feeling and full-sounding with a good top end.

    We shall see how long they last. Right now they're staying in tune and sounding/feeling great.

    When they say naked, they mean naked. They came with like gauges wrapped together, all in the same padded envelop containing nothing else but a shipping invoice. Nice.

    I use a 10.5 high E in regular tuning.

    YOU ARE NOT UNIQUE OR SPECIAL.

            I've been thinking of making a set out of extra strings.

                  Nice - did juststrings.com not offer the same gauges? I've been buying through them for years now.

                  Interesting to see that your setup is pretty close to my 11, 15, 19, 28, 38, 52 set for D-standard.

                      I like that, but why are you waggling your eyebrows up and down at me as though you're trying to seduce me like an old-timey 1920s carnival barker?

                      Yeah, I'm experimenting with the 0.115 and .15 for the two highest strings because I wanted a little more consistency in resistance/feel across the strings in my Eb standard tuning.

                      My short-scale Gibsons love these sets and will definitely continue to have them. My long-scale guitars (Tele, EBMM, Suhr) are still getting used to the idea.

                        I used to use a 9 set with low e and a swapped for 10's on my LP, then 11's when I moved up a size. It was pretty sweet, but had to cut it out once I restrung the whole thing with 11's. At least that was what the techies adviced me to do.

                            I used to think I was special. I also thought my name was Ed too..

                            Thanks for the tips on the strings! Ill try juststrings and naked strings.
                            Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.
