Oh, it's not so bad. My sixes are in drop D (.011-.056) and drop C (.013-.059) and I can bend just fine. I just bought a 27" scale seven and the .010-.068 set on it is killing me; they're like rubber bands. Thanks, OP, by the way; I'm having the same problem myself!
/second My ex-girlfriend is an indie-rock type; she plays a Tele with .009s in E standard and I could barely play the thing. I'd be bending off the fretboard half the time. Plus, I have a pretty heavy touch - okay, I kind of have a death grip - so I'd have strings all out of tune just because...
ONE OF US The very first time I replaced my strings on my first guitar, I went from .009-.042 to .011-.052. After that, I managed to get a set of .013-.058 flatwound strings on that thing, tuned up to E standard on a Strat-scale guitar (I think it was 25.5", but I have no idea). I'm not sure...
Not for very long. By definition, shit is waste, so your body has already gotten most of the nutrients out of it. After two or three cycles, there'll be nothing left in it worth absorbing.
Definitely! I love this stuff, I really do. The biggest problem is that while there's this giant wealth of source material, everybody always picks the same tunes to cover. I want to hear somebody doing Maniac Mansion or Milton's Secret Castle or something!
I'm definitely interested, but I don't yet have the axe for which I'd need the bridge and I hate to have a bridge I can't use. If this is still up in a week, I'll jump on the bandwagon.
Neverending Story, not shitty metalcore. The world would be an infinitely better place if the latter never existed; though, as an empiricist, I must note that I have never seen the band so as far as I'm concerned they don't.
