Hi, I bought an EVH Striped last month that I absolutely loved.... the honeymoon ended when I came to change the strings.
I have been using Ernie Ball 009 - 042 for the past 25 years (!!) and never really given string choice much thought but these new strings changed the sound of this guitar so much I feel I want to do something about it and look for alternatives.
( basically the strings that came with it were quite meaty sounding - a nice even tone - the EB's are really brittle /squeaky/ bright.)
Does anybody have similar experiences and have good suggestions for alternatives - I presume the strings that originally came with the guitar were not expensive?
Cheers
Zack
PS I play mostly high gain metal / rock.
