35 years of les paul , meat and potatoes , humbucker playing , and I just bought my first strat , with the standard SSS pickups.
I love the beef and growl of humbuckers , but there are sounds that live in strat land , where nothing else will DO. I plugged her in today for the first time , and did a little twanging. It's going to be fun , I can tell.
I will be lost in my AX8 , while I rediscover amps and pedals within , that produce the best strat tones.
My question for you experienced players is , what is your preferred string Guage ? I believe 9's come on it standard. I think Gilmour uses 10's , with a couple 9 guage strings in the mix. My Les Pauls I run 10's.
....and any advice with the floating trem ? I am a complete strat newbie.
