Favorite strings for Floyd Rose guitars

[JB_From_Hell]

never tried these, but saw them last time I was in the city.

Could you shortly describe, any advantages over the regular ones?

thanks,

The low F# and B strings on my 8 last a lot longer. I tend to tune that guitar all over the place, and swap between a couple sets of pickups (EMG and Fluence, so they swap quick), and they survive a lot more constant tension changes.

Ernie Balls on everything.

I have three guitars with Floyds. They are all running 10-52s. I had just regular 10s on them before, but found I really like the extra tension on the lower strings.

I found the larger gauge strings usually require a fourth spring which really changes the feeling of the trem.

D'addario EXL 9-42's. (10's on shorter scale guitars) Nothing like them...

I have a guitar with 5 springs, 10-52 in E standard. It’s not a Floyd but the stiffer feel is great.

Same string gauges, but I've got three springs, four springs, and five springs in my three floyded guitars. The trem feels different on each of them, but I get used to it pretty quickly when switching guitars.

D’Addario 9-42 or 10-46 on all of my guitars.

Boomer 9s usually.

Optima Gold 9s right now on my Jackson

But I don't choose strings because of the Floyd. I choose ones that make the sound and have the feel I need at that time.

I have two up and running, and several in the making. I run Fender pure nickel .009-.042s on them. If they were still around, I'd use the old .009-.040 sets, which were a bit harder to play but had a nicer sonic balance to my ears - alas, they are long gone.

I might have to try a set or two.

I rotate between Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9-42 and Super Slinky RnR's. That's for E standard, Drop D and E flat.

I need to buy a box soon if anyone sees a good special on strings (.09) please let me know.

[Demanic]

If I haven't said it already, Dunlop Heavy Core 10-48.

They should just sell strings on spools for FR guitars.
