I'm contemplating changing the gauge of strings I've been using for quite awhile.
Currently I'm using .012-.052's and while I enjoy the thick tone I'm capable of getting from those strings, I do quite a lot of bending and vibrato and quite frankly, I'd like an easier time of it. lol :mrgreen:
I'm trying to figure out what's the lowest gauge of strings I can get away with while still retaining a lot of the tone I'm used to.
What kind of gauge strings do you guys use.. and while we're at it, how thick a pick do you use as well with those strings?
I usually favor 2.00mm picks but I'm starting to wonder if I could squeeze more tone out of a slimmer pick.
