Re: Rock and metal guys what strings are you using?
As of the last few months I've been using Sfarzo 'SFT Screamers' & 'Super Screamers' (a few guitars with regular 9's & a couple with regular 10's). I used to use D'addario's for years (but started finding them a bit too bright, thin & fizzy/tinny lately...maybe they changed them, or maybe I'd been buying fakes..). I greatly prefer the Sfarzo's.
The SFT Screamers are a bit brighter/more balanced overall & seem (very noticeably) to sustain forever while the Super screamers are bit more middy, sort of like EB Slinky's but they "feel" smoother/nicer.
