Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

Right off the top of my head I know D'Addario and Dean Markley do and i'm sure other companies do as well.
 
Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

yeah, DM used to sell a YM .08 set. It looks like theyre discontinued
 
Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

Really?

Nearly every brand I've seen sells a light top heavy bottom set.
 
Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

I use the D'addario .10 -.52s and I really, really like them.
 
Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

DR also makes a Drop Down Tuning (DDT) in 10/52.

10 is as light as those go though, no 8's and 9's for you scallop fiends.
 
Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

Every string brand worth buying makes sets like that, obviously D'ad and EB are the most ubiquitous, but I would bet that just about every manufacturer has some form of light top/heavy bottom strings.

Now what's hard to find is the opposite, my favorite set is light top heavy bottom. Specifically 11's for the e, b and g and 9's for d, a and E.
That sh!t is nearly impossible to find, whenever I gig I buy two sets of EBs and create this custom set. If I could afford it I would do that all the time.
Alas, nobody seems to share my love of weird string gauges...

Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

ive got some pyramids that are 9 plain and 10 wound sets. pretty sure alot of companies do this as 09-46 and 10-52 are popular favorites.
 
Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

AFAIK, most companies have a similar set. Gibson's BB King Sig set is one example. D'addario makes them too.
 
Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

Oh yeah, the GHS David Gilmour sig strings are pretty awesome. I'm not sure if they really count as light top/heavy bottom, though. They're 10.5 -.50.
 
Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

Almost every string company out there sells something similar to a 10/52 and a lot even do a 9/46 now...

I actually really like Gibson strings. I don't use them any more, because there are cheaper alternatives that will work on all of my guitars. The Gibson strings really aren't the best on my Gibson guitars. I love them on Fenders, though!
 
Re: Anyone Besides Ernie Ball Sell Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom Hybrid Strings?

Dunlop does. Go to their website and under products theres a guitar string category then go the Electric Guitar Nickel, their the second set called Light/ Heavy.
