2215 : Good strings for Rock in E Standard

11 years ago

I've been using the same set of strings on my main guitar for close to 4 years now, with no desire to switch. The heavy bottom on these provides a very solid tone for heavy blues rock riffs (especially when driven through a Marshall head) and the top feels moderately heavy for solos. These aren't the easiest strings to bend when it comes to playing solos in the upper two registers (for that I'd recommend a lighter model, perhaps a set of 9s) and when tuned below D standard they start to feel rather loose, but for that I feel either a baritone guitar or a set of 11s (or even 12s) may be necessary.
