At some point you need to stop wanking over guitar setup and just practice the fucking instrument

Guitarists with gear acquisition syndrome are still less cringey than people who spend thousands of dollars on running shoes for performance

>>127114551 (OP)
mmmmmm
no

Beefo is right about strings though

>>127114551 (OP)
Id say string size matters only if you want to have a specific sound for your personal playing style. It's a nice easy way to have get something sounding original and fresh

He’s wrong about dick tho

I just put a set of 12-52 chromes, deal with it

>>127114807
No he isn't. Thicker gauge strings sound better.

stringlets are little fags that shouldn't be taken seriously

I have tiny hands and it makes me feel bad.

Are those condom packets he's holding?

>>127114794

It depends on what tuning you are going for, what sound, what tone, and how bendy you like your higher strings. Or if you use a thicker kind of string, tune down and the action isn't super high, you get extra bend. It can make for a fatter and chunkier sludgy sound, like for doom metal. Thick strings are usually for heavier and lower tuning

>>127114551 (OP)
I was really surprised he feels this way but maybe he's speaking to beginners when he says this stuff

11-48 for offsets, if not beefier. Otherwise they don’t play right or sound good. It’s a matter of stability more than preference.

There's also the thing where some bands use relatively thinner strings downtuned. It became a thing from Iommi having no choice but to use very light strings because of his finger accident (Master of Reality onwards being C# standard with 9-42 strings).You get that slight initial sharpness on the attack which can sound cool as well as bendyness.
In Kyuss I heard Josh Homme was using 10s in C standard as well.

I'm purposely boring and play 10-46 on a Sunburst Strat.

I have mediums or whatever on a guitar set up to be around standard and big ones for my other guitar thats often in drop a

im not much of a guitarist but i once accidentally bought some thick ass strings for my acoustic and for a while it legitimately hurt to play and felt much stiffer until i realised i need thinner strings and made much faster progress since then, so it does make a difference.

Edge has always used thick. So

All of his favorite rock guitarists from back in the day used light strings so that might be part of it.

Love me rotosound 10s, simple as :)

>>127114551 (OP)
i put 9-42 on everything I own except for my purple strat 8-38's.
I miss Dean Malarkey Strings.
