D'addario 10-59 set

Atomic_gerbil · 10-20-2007, 06:05 PM

Just picked one of these up from guitar center (orgasmic string set if you must know!

)

I thought the 10-59's were changed to a 10-56 set. Thats exactly why I got the 10-59s, because the 56 felt like shit! Someone have info on this? PLEASE tell me they are still manufacturing this set, and didn't change!

zimbloth · 10-20-2007, 06:17 PM

Dude it's the other way around. It was 10-56 for years, then they changed it to 10-59. They should still be 10-59. I've used those packs a couple of times, they're okay. The 59 feels a lot better tension wise than the 56. That said I prefer the tone of the S.I.T. 10-58.

No worries

No problem

i use a hybrid set of d'addarios (9-46) then i buy a .59, feels amazing, perfect for me

Randy · 10-20-2007, 06:39 PM

I actually just got a set of these, but haven't put them on....

I have those regular slinkys on right now, and I'm not really digging them to much.... the tension on the high feels a little stiffer than I like, and the low feels a pinch too floppy....

Atomic_gerbil · 10-20-2007, 06:41 PM

Exactly what I had on before hand, put those D'adds on NOW!

That's what I used to have on my RG. Tonight, I'll be changing to 9-42+54(All of which will be stainless steel.)

Anthony · 10-20-2007, 08:09 PM

I use a hybrid set too 10 -46 and a 70 on the B. The B feels perfect, but everything else feels light. I might jump up to 11's. Can the neck of a 7321 handle that?

well 46 = 62, so obviously the 70 is gonna feel way tighter than everything else. If you want a nice and balanced set, try this: 10-13.5-17-26-36-49-66. with that, the tension gradually increases as you go down to the low B.

Anthony · 10-20-2007, 09:03 PM

I prefer a similar tension overall, and I really love the tension of the 70. I'm fine right now, I've like the way the 10's feel. Thanks though.

Xtremevillan · 10-20-2007, 10:08 PM

10-46 is hybrid? I thought it was standard...

It's standard. I just bought a set of D'Addario's yesterday that are 10-46.

Anthony · 10-20-2007, 10:13 PM

I include the 70 when I say hybrid.

Xtremevillan · 10-20-2007, 10:46 PM

Ah.

It must feel awkward as heck, though. I play in D Standard, just got a 7, so I have no clue what to put on the 7th string, I was just gonna get a standard EXL110-7. Maybe a single string, thinking 60.

ohio_eric · 10-20-2007, 11:39 PM

If you use a .070 and want a balance set use something like this.

.0105, .014, .018, .028, .038, .052, .070

Xtremevillan · 10-20-2007, 11:50 PM

Yeah, what Broderick uses, haha. I would, but on my C7FR...I think a standard 10's would be good for my springs.

I play in D standard too with a low A. If you're used to a 10-46, anything in the 58-62 range would match up well. Tension-wise, 46 = 62, but it's fine to go a little lighter if you want.

I've also used a custom set recently that was 10-64 which was okay, S.I.T. makes a 10-58 set which is nice, the D'Addario 10-59 or 13-62 (obviously would add a high E in this scenario) could work. Since I love the tone of Elixir strings I just use 10-56 which isn't my 1st choice but its out of my control.

Alpo · 10-21-2007, 01:36 AM

I use the D'Addario 10-59 on my 1527 in Bb. Works great. I had them in A standard for a while, but they were a little too loose. B standard was a little too tight on the high strings. Bb is just perfect for me.

angryman · 10-21-2007, 05:44 AM

I've been using the .10 -.59 sets since they changed from .56's & I like em, they feel comfortable too. I've never had any problems at all & i tune Drop A & occasionally Drop G# with no trouble.

Kronpox · 10-21-2007, 09:11 AM

Every time a thread about string gauges come up I'm impressed by the wimpy strings people on this forum tend to use

I find there's a large group of people using light shreddy strings, then another large group of people using enormous chugchug strings, and not much in the middle. Interesting.

anyway for the haters I grab a pack of D'addario LHTBs (10-52 or something) and tack a 70-ish on the bottom (depending on how big of a string is available at the time). chugchugshredshred.

Metal Ken · 10-21-2007, 09:13 AM

thats pretty much what i do. just get a 9-whatever the biggest E string you can get with a pack of 9's and add a .065 bass on the bottom. or a 64 if they have them. i've gone with a .068 in A.
