How to avoid 'slinky' strings?

Re: How to avoid 'slinky' strings?

Use thicker strings, done
Ben, that's been my approach for more than 10 years and it certainly works... However, thicker strings have pros and cons.

Moving slowly, but have made some progress... One of my strats became less slinky with simply a brand change (before this, I thought wire was wire).

Action seems cruicial on another... Seems like practically every recommendation made in this thread has some impact or another.

The trick seems to be figuring out the right combination for each guitar.

I've always done my own setups but wonder if techs and luthiers get questions about this very often...

Everything has pros and cons. Its up to only you to decide which are most important. BTW, I just settled on a thick low, thinner higher set. I like em
