11-52 strings
« on: March 12, 2011, 11:22:09 AM »
Does anyone make them? I can't find these anywhere yet apparently they exist.

11-54 are getting to be a little bit too much of a strain on the hands now I'm tuned back up to E (from Eb) and playing more lead than drop tuned riffage.

I've been using Pyramid 11-48s for at least a year or so now and am very happy with them - they last forever, sound great and are cheap from Thomann.  At the minute I've gigged my Les Paul seven times this year and the same set of stings are on - it might have even been before xmas when I last changed the strings.

At £2.88 a set you really can't complain - I get them in quantity to save on shipping.

I've bee using the GHS Low 11-53 for years. It is probably one of the best sets GHS makes. It works great for both SRV sounds and for downtuned metal and the durability is better than the thinner Boomer sets from GHS.

GHS Eric Johnsons are 11-52, they last a long time, feel and sound great.

Plus they enable you to play Cliffs of Dover  :lol:
