Electric Bulk Guitar
Good Electric Guitar Strings?
I tend to play fairly hard on my electric guitar, and I’m always snapping strings. Does anyone have a good string brand and guages to recommed? And even better if you know where you can buy them in bulk. Thanks!
You could move up to strings that start with a .010 gauge if you haven’t already. The truss rod in the neck of your guitar would require adjustment. Heavier strings require more tension to reach the same pitch. The relief in your neck would change. Also, intonation would have to be reset.
I’ve been using .009 gauge with no problems. Don’t know what kind of guitar you have. Sometimes replacing a Tune-O-Matic type bridge with one that’s made better will help. Sometimes adding another spring to a Floyd-Rose type bridge will limit motion and the “sawing” action on strings.
If you’re playing a lower-priced guitar with stock pickups, a pickup upgrade might help. You generally wouldn’t have to play as hard to get lively, powerful sound and good sustain. This would probably improve your speed and precision too, make your playing more “effortless”. It’s amazing what a difference good gear can make sometimes.
I’ve been liking the D’Addario XL strings for sound and duribility. You can usually find decent deals on 3-packs or 10-packs at most of the online music stores.
