EXL148 : Thick strings for low tunings!

10 years ago

Guitarplayers always tend to try something new. In my case, I discovered the world of lower tunings. I tuned my Ibanez RG1570 to drop B and of course, new strings and a setup were needed, to make it playable

As a long time D'Addario player these were my choice of strings for this tuning. This set is recommended for drop C tuning, but I found it more enjoyable one halfstep lower. It just sounds and feels right!

Especially the lower strings provide a lot of punch and definition, which is needed, when you tune your sixstring that low.

On the other side, the higher strings still feel very balanced, so soloing is no problem!

I recommend this set to every player, who plays in drop B or C.
