Zakk Wylde Strings?

LesIsMore · 02-27-2008, 09:06 PM

well my stock strings are about to give out and i wanted to know if the Wylde strings were any good (the Med strings not the uber strings)

I use D'Addario strings, myself, they sound great, last a long time, and are affordable. I own a small guitar repair shop, and I recommend these strings to all my customers, and they all agree that D'Addario's are great. I use them on all of my clients' guitars, and I have yet to hear a complaint. You can spend a lot more on a set of strings if you want, but to MY ears the D'Addario's are fine.

Don't go for the hype. Most strings are all pretty good. I like GHS personally. They may noy be the best, but they are the best for me.

IMO

the only strings that I have found that add "something" to the sound of my LP are Thomastik Infeld JAzz bebops.
The rest sounded very much the same on the LP....

Don't bother with the Zakk strings. They are ridiculously huge and you'll have to adjust your truss rod to keep the action good.

If you want GREAT strings, I suggest the pure nickel D'Addario's in 11's. Great value and amazing feel, with that pure nickel tone.

I tried the Dunlop's 'Zakk' strings but they were too slack (string tension) so I use D'addario now. (same gauge)

MVL.

im tat talki9ng about the huge strings but the med se he came out with there smaller then his big strings

Yea his 10-56 set... They just sound like boomers, except more expensive because they have his name on em.

Feels like boomers too... If you like that feel, thats a good thing. I don't personally. Too 'tight'.
