Messed up my SG's tone

Re: Messed up my SG's tone

Yeah that's why for a gig, I always change strings a day or two before the show, because this lets them get broken in. I always get some smooth warm sounds out of them.

LOL! you guys are really hung up on the 14 year old strings. TRUST ME they didn't look like 14 year old string. They were still bright and shiney. I don't sweat and have dry hands (so much for aging my Gibsons).

Like the rest of us hominids, you have oils on your hands, and that stays on the strings and ove rtime deteriorates their tone quality. Are you saying you don't leave fingerprints on anything?

I think the OEM strings were 9's. I went up a size to 10's. Interesting the replies about taking it up yet another notch to 11s. I always here bigger is warmer / fuller, but then I look at Tony Iommi and his fat tone when using thinner strings. My preferred size is 9-46 Custom Lites.

The Rev uses 7s and 8s and nobody ever accused ZZ of having a thin sound.
