Good question. These are Elixer 9s. The guitar came with that gauge and I kept it that way for about a year. I stepped it up to 10s recently when I swapped the pickups. .....I may go to 9.5 at some point.
This video had the stock ones in it. Duncan Full Shred & Alnico Pro 2. Now this guitar has DiMarzio Transitions in it. Speaking of which, it's about time I put the original ones on Reverb.
@BenBreard thanks for the answer. I just bought this guitar, I'll check the pickups position next time I change the strings, I saw In another video your pickups were swapped when you got this guitar. Thanks
@flywithoutwingss congrats. You should be able to check that just from looking at the pickup pole alignment with your strings. If the bridge pickup is the wider "trembucker" spacing, you're good to go. I bet they got yours right.
@@BenBreard oo I'll check after work, by the way, what did you think about the stock pickups? Did you feel them too "sharp" , too "thin", why did you decide to change the pickups? Thanks
@@flywithoutwingss I don't know if I have the ears to pinpoint it exactly. Overall the guitar just wasn't "right" and I wasn't happy with the sound compared to everything else I have. The stock ones are great pickups that many people love. I don't know if it's my OCD, or the wood on my particular guitar, but it just wasn't working for me. I would definitely spend some time with the factory ones because on paper, they should be amazing and you might love them.
Nice one👏
What strings are you using here?

@@BenBreardgotcha thanks. They look super slinky/bendy on that guitar.
Nice video, appreciate it.
