  • It’s also important to note that string height can come a long way when it comes to string tension. You can always get a better feel out of looser string gauges for some tunings by raising the action until you find a string height that’s right for you. I’ve found this to work perfect for tunings like D Standard with 10-46 gauge strings as raising the action with looser strings feels a lot better than just using heavier strings to compensate for the tuning you’re playing in, your mileage may vary however.

  • I use EB Not so Slinkys12-56's now since I run C standard tuning – its the best in tension and sound thickness in that tuning. I used 11's bedore but found it a bit slack and thin sounding for my taste. I stuck with C tuning at 12's. Its a matter of preference ????

  • That's a copy of the spring toy name. Why do you need to copy the toy?

  • Keep in mind of scale length as well, these strings are for short scale length guitars

  • For those who have not done so yet, I encourage you all to accept Jesus into your life, have faith, and turn away from your sins. God bless you all. I love you all, but Jesus loves you all more. He died for all of our sins and flaws from the past, present, and future. Then he was resurrected by God 3 days later, defeating all sin, death, and evil. If you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will be saved. But I am not forcing anyone to do so and neither is Jesus. For lukewarm Christians, this is just a warning, not a judgement, but if you sin whenever you want and don’t know God, but claim to be a Christian, remember that you need to know God personally in order to get into heaven. So if you haven’t, I encourage you turn away from your sins and start to know God by spending time with him. Remember that salvation is not a license to sin. That would be abusing God’s grace. Again, this is a warning, not a judgement. God bless you all. Jesus loves you all. Let me know if any of you all have questions. ????♥️✝️???????? NOTE: I do not FORCE people to turn to Jesus. I help Jesus give them the opportunity to be saved, and as a Christian, I do not take away the free will God gave people.

  • 12-56 ernie ball strings on my strats, play tuned down a half step. With acoustics, though, I tend to experiment more with different types of strings and size ranges.

  • Well, I’m putting mammoth slinky’s on my Yamaha guitar ????and these strings are perfect for the style music I play. But when I play drop b with normal string gauges sounds bad I mean very bad. There’s a lot of buzzing. If you wanna play low tuning buy mammoths slinky’s
