2222 : My default guitar strings for standard tuning

10 years ago

These are the only strings I use for standard tuned guitars (24.75" and 25.2" scale lengths).

Tuning stability is great after you put them through a few cycles of tuning followed by ridiculous bends

They're very durable too... I once avoided restringing a Floyd Rose guitar for 2 years and played it regularly and they performed and sounded perfectly fine. I've since 'fixed' this dirty habit.

If you're going lower than drop D or D standard you may want to increase the gauge to maintain sufficient string tension for accurate playing.
