  • Fitted up the Gibson with a set of much heavier strings - after fixing the intonation, love these strings. Nice and tight, good tone, and they keep their tuning well! I'm playing in drop C here and I'm using my Engl Fireball

    I use the heavy core 10-48 on my washburn flying V and they keep in tune more than Ernie ball reg's and hybrid strings in any guitar in my collection. Used them on the V a while back and they kept going out of guitar every time i use it but using these strings i havnt tuned the guitar in ages. Weeks. Months and they still sound great too

    Nice video man I used the same strings in my latest video (my last serenade) just to try them and now im hooked

  • @GarethPontin
    @GarethPontin  12 лет назад

    @xxweaponsxx123 A little bit - if you've got heavier strings then you can downtune more and keep the tightness of the sound, and I think that thicker strings have a bigger, fuller sound anyway

    @evilotto77cheese These strings are amazing in Standard!! I recommend these string to anyone. Heavy Core #1

  • @EzyoMusic
    @EzyoMusic 12 лет назад

    @evilotto77cheese You may be right. I'm using 11-54's (yes, in standard tuning) now and it's already quite tight. It's just that they don't have this hybrid gauge. Otherwise I would've liked to try these Heavy-Cores.

    It depends how big the change is - if you're only going one gauge heavier then it should be ok, but if you're changing from a very light set to a very heavy set then it's worth having a professional check the neck isn't being warped. Best thing to do is to take the guitar to a music shop and have them do it for you, so they can set up the guitar properly as well

    I didnt have to file the nut dor 13-60 on my omen 6 but couldn't get perfect intonation as the saddles can only move so much and the tunimatic on my guitar cant flip them to get that little bit more needed. got daddario nyxl 1052

  • @GarethPontin
    @GarethPontin  12 лет назад

    @almzap Yeah I think in standard they might be a bit tight, but try it though and see what you think

  • @GarethPontin
    @GarethPontin  13 лет назад

    @joweerocks No the only thing I had to change was the intonation, everything else feels fine

  • @Теодосий-ЗографКолев

    Bill Keliher from Mastodon uses 12-54 I think

    @jedimastergarcia87 12 лет назад

    Hey. I use these now for drop tuning purposes. Just wondering if they were good for drop c sharp. (Pantera kinda stuff). I've been getting into the Dimebag style of guitar and its fun. I also use the 11-54's. They work best in drop tunings I think, drop c sharp, c, b, and a.

    @GarethPontin  12 лет назад

    @DuskY1991 It would be a bit unnecessary for standard, I think

  • @david_handlebar

    I use a Chinese knockoff Fender Stratocaster, and my High E snapped, would strings of this gauge be compatible, since I'm learning Metal?

  • @GarethPontin

    @fizzlefresh14 On most of my properly set up guitar I've been using 10-52s, these ones just feel a bit better

  • @neo69hk

    if you change heavier string.. you need to resetup the guitar ..
    if not .. the neck will be crooked..

    Can I tune these strings in standard E also, or will they break?

    • @shadowflame005
      @shadowflame005 5 лет назад +1

      No, they will brake. 11 gauge will brake in E standard

  • @GarethPontin
    @GarethPontin  12 лет назад

    Then personally I'd go for the heavier ones, but then I like heavy strings. It's all down to personal taste really

    12-54 capable of doing standard e tuning or are they too heavy gauge

    • @artyom4233

    • @OlaAlonsoLia
      @OlaAlonsoLia 9 лет назад +1

    • @Rockerrobin
      @Rockerrobin 9 лет назад

      ended up using 11-52 they work great love the tension when in E and its not muffled in drop c like i was getting with the 9s i had on before.

    • @OlaAlonsoLia
      @OlaAlonsoLia 9 лет назад

      Ah, I see ;) Got 11-52 on my Synyster Gates Custom and a Ibanez :) Love it :) Got both in drop C.
