2215 : Good for lower tuning

6 years ago

I've bought this set as future alternative for new Fender Jeff Beck Strat, yet factory set needed replacement at once. Heavier gauge of EB 2215 (10-52) pulled the bridge harder, so I had to add full set of tremolo springs on the back. It compensated for pull reasonably good, but the sound was not what I expect from Strat. So I once more time made a change to EB Hybrid Slinky 9-46 and this is it.

Replaced 2215 found its place on my SG tuned to open D - the bottom strings are not so heavy as GHS Boomers 10-60 and that's better for thin neck, it's light to play, have power for bass accents and at the same time whole set has enough tension for occasional bottleneck.
