So i've been using DR-Tite fit 10 - 46 with a drop D# tuning for the past 2 years, but now times are achanging!
I'm going to start jamming in drop C, and the 46 gauge does not do the trick when i tune down.
The sustain is not quite what you would like it to be, and the strings flop around too much.
So i'm looking for a tight feel when I play riffs on the lower end and at the same time I want to keep a certain smoothness for when I play on the higher strings.

I've got my eyes on on

DR DDT-11 which contains 011",015",019",032",042",054" gauges

DR Alexi Laiho signature 010" 014" 018" 032" 044" 056"

ELIXIR NANOWEB MEDIUM which goes from 011" to 049". And Elixir light-heavy gauge 010"-052"


First of all, I'm not sure which gauge the low E string should be to get an optimal sound when you tune down to C, but I figured it should be around 50-56 (Correct me if I'm wrong)

The Alexi Laiho's signature seem like a fine hybrid between thick and slinky strings if you want to tune down and still have a certain smoothness when you play fast and do vibrato on the higher notes, but are they too slinky to form a good tone?

And i've tried the Elixir strings a while back, and from what I remember they had a great tone but felt somewhat kind of plastic?

If you guys have any tips on other strings or what kind of strings from thoose four you would use I would appreciate it!

Thanks! smile.gif

A cutout from this page:
http://www.tremol-no.com/cleanandlube.asp

"For years I've used this lube from Permatex: it's called Ultra Slick Multi-Purpose Lubricant w/PTFE. PTFE stands for PolyTetraFluoroEthylene. For the non-chemisty majors, that's tech-talk for "good stuff". It contains Teflon that imbeds itself into the microscopic pores of the metal, helping make it a very smooth, non-stick surface. Any medium-strength lubricant will work fine, but something that is Teflon-based or contains PTFE is definitely preferred here."

My question is, where can I get this in Sweden? Or something like it? biggrin.gif

-Nån här som vet?

Hi GMC:ers, I just imported a guitar from Japan via eBay. It's an Edwards (ESP) E-FR-130GT, red, forest model.
Both looks and sounds great!

Apart from getting used to my first floyd rose guitar, I have problems with buzz. I know this is not a technicians' forum, but i just wonder if you have any tips for me?

Usually the buzz you hear about is on open strings, or a single high fret, but I got buzz more or less on all string from the 15th to the 24th fret. It's noticeable when I play on the neck pickup, when sweep picking in particular... Sounds bad.
So I tried giving the neck as much relief as possible, and the truss rod won't go any longer without using force, you don't wanna force it of course...
Also i tried adjusting the bridge, it is quite high, and the action too...

Any suggestions?
I've began to think that maybe it's my GT-10 that plays tricks on me :/

Thankful for answers smile.gif
