I really have no experience beyond Fender strings ( I have a strat) so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Ernie Ball (Super Slinky)=You will either love them or hate them D'Adarrio (malmsteen model)=these are very light 8-42 so there great for lead but if you tune down NO. Really need to know what you play most to give you the best recommendation.If you tune down low to C or even lower you want a thicker gauge string as to if you really just play alot of solo's you would want a much lighter string.And if you play it all you want something in the middle Give us some more info so we can tell you You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I also thing it's optimal gauge for floating bridges. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
