I'm a fan of Blue Steel 10s. I used 9s for a while but there wasn't enough resistance on the high E for my liking...

I use Fender Stainless Bullets- 008, .011, .014, .024, .032, .046 and 1.5mm Dunlop Delrin picks. These gauges work well with the scalloped necks on my YJMs; both Joe Stump and Yngwie use them.

i use ernie ball .10-.52 on my SG copies, it allows me to have beautiful crunch on the low strings and yet it still allows me to solo easiliy, the best of both worlds Smile

im thinking of switching to 11-48 ernie balls because the .10 .13 .17 seem too small, i want something that fights against my fingers when i try to bend it Wink

I just thought I'd wax lyrical here about how good my Ibby feels after having a string change last night and a good lemon-oil of the fretboard. The guitar has been round the block a few times now - it's from 1990, and was owned by Trelloskilos before he kindly gave it to me - and has the best neck I've ever played on any guitar (I sanded the lacquer away and gave it a coat of Danish Oil - fast, smooth and slinky).

It's wonderful now - so slinky to play it almost feels like it's not there. Life is good. Very Happy

I use ernie ball 9s.

My action is really quite high. I played on a friend's guitar the other day which had a very low action and that allowed me to play legato faster and smoother (especially left hand tapping) without warming up at all.

I intend to go and get a very low action soon (even my classical guitar has a lower action than my electric!)


... Love James XXX

I use 9s and my action is insanely low. Even my Taylor has low-action almost as low as my Ibanez even Twisted Evil I can't handle high action and heavy gauge strings....I'm not a manly stud like Richie Kotzen...hehe.
