I have an Epiphone LP Standard that is tuned to B.

What strings do you recommend for metal playing? I'm not a really heavy picker. And I want the higher strings to still be bendable....

Any suggestions?

Post links to the string sets if you can.

That would make sense.

And I did have one for a little while.

Hated it.

Never wanted to play it. Uncomfortable.

Its just not for me.
