Re: 12's feel great!!

Im actually comming down a bit...I used 11's and 12's for years and more years lately it's been 10-52 (light top heavy bottom) on the Fenders and 11-52 (Med) on the other stuff, now Im even thinking about going to 10-52's on everything. I could never go lower that that though...the tone is just too thin on anything any smaller...

I agree.....light top/heavy bottom setups work great. I use 11-14-18p-36-52-58 myself, and it's great.

After getting used to the light/heavy set, I'm thinking the EB strings I'm currently using on my Strat (11-15-22p-30-42-54) might have to go.

I'm beginning to agree with you on that. I like it, except for that stupid plain 22. I guess I'm just a wound third guy

Re: 12's feel great!!

GHS makes one called the Low Tune, or something to that effect, in a blue package that goes 11,15,19p,28,38,58. You can also order singles from any music store. I'm spoiled, as my favorite local guy carries almost every GHS string they make

The low tunes set is sitting right next to me. It's in a red package, and goes 11, 15, 19p, 33, 43, 53.

Re: 12's feel great!!

Is there anywhere you can get individual strings?

Usually if you look on the counter out your local music store they have a big box with individual strings.

Re: 12's feel great!!

I use .013 on mt acoustics now, i went up from light to medium gauge. And its alot tougher to play but im geting the hang of it now. Im actually thinking of going to .09s on my strat so ic an solo easier, since electric is all about the solo! I use fairly heavy string on my strat .010-.052, whihc is nothing for osme of you guys but i find it hard to solo when i play with it so im going to make that light.

There's another one that goes 11-58 in a blue package.
