Gold Nickel Flatwound 310/12 : The only strings you'll ever need for a Rickenbacker!

8 years ago

I needed to replace the strings on my Ricky 12 string guitar and was looking at the various manufacturers who produced such sets. I've tried a few other string brands but after a bit of research found that the Pyramids are the de-facto strings for a Rickenbacker. Previously I found that nickel-wound strings were a little 'zingy' but using the flat-wounds gives you that Rickenbacker jangly tone that you hear on records etc.

I'll be using flat-wounds from onwards. Yes, they are a little more expensive but I can assure you that they will be worth it!
