        DR Hi-Voltage Dimebag Darrell Signature Electric Guitar Strings DBG-9 Lite 9-42 - Nickel-Plated Steel on Hex Cores...Treated with Long-Life Ive been playin the strings of strength since 1995. I like the way DR Strings feel and react, you can really get a grip on them. Theyre great for everything, from big ol string bends, to huge whammy bar dives, perfect for blood curdling harmonic screams and just straight out heavy chunky riffin. They also stay in perfect tune and remain fresh and bright for an amazingly long time.

          These on 25.5" scale guitars. Don't have any shorter scale floyd guitars.

            They're brighter than many others. I like Optimas with A2 pickups (have a Custom Custom in my Jackson). A2 gives me the mid-chime I need for chords and solos, and Optimas add back in some brightness/clarity on the top.

              Amen brother, 9-46 for me, used to use Hybrid Slinky but I tried the NYXLs and have been on em ever since, great feeling and sound.

                Always GHS Boomers.

                I go for 9-46 as my favorite. But I'll use 9-42 or 10-46 if drop tuning in a pinch.

                    How have you been getting on with the Sophia now that you’ve had a chance to wiggle it, just a little bit?

                      The Sophia gets great reviews.

                        Wow I have totally missed knowing about the Sophia. That might be the perfect swap down the road for my rgt that has the cheapy edge2.

                          They aren’t cheap but they look like they are built like a tank.

                            How do you all manage playing 9's without snapping them?

                              I freaking love it. It is definitely an upgrade over the Floyd Special. Solid tone, sustain is unbelievable and the action is amazing. I would say it is 90% there, I need to make some minor tweaks to get it 100% dialed in.
