Guitar Strings

[Savio]

I just popped a damn string (E low). Any suggestion on what I should buy? I want something easy on my fingers and that sound good. I have a fender Electric/Acoustic. Thanks guys.

I don't really like guitar center, but they carry my favorite strings. DR rare phosphor bronze. Try the light medium, or light if you're a pussy. They sound great on my Takamines.

yeah, I hear GC is the cheap way to go for strings.

[Savio]

Where is GC?

[QueenCityHillbilly]

Matthews across the street from Windsor Square.

Nothin' wrong with light strings. At least don't feel like you're playing friggin piano strings.

[Savio]

how much are those strings anyway?

[QueenCityHillbilly]

No, light strings are fine, I just don't play them very often because the treble always seems to overpower the bass. Then again, it could just be my pickup. Sdawg, the strings are about 8 bucks. A little pricey, but it's all I play. They seem to last a little longer, and I really like their sound. Elixer's are the most expensive, about 13 bucks. They sound quite good too.

I know a lot of people that play Elixir and D'addario.

One of the bass players I know changes strings every gig.

I love D'addario. I bought a set of Elixirs for my 12 at the suggestion of a guy at Mars. Fantastic.
