Like most guitarists, I have my preferred brand of guitar strings. Each brand has a unique feel.
For my BC Rich Warlock NJ series, I’m currently restricted to Floyd Rose Speedloader strings due to the bridge. I’m currently using the 10 gauge 25.5″ scale series. The only place I order them from is The Music Farm.
For my other 3 electric guitars, I was using the DR Dimebag series, hand wound 10 gauge strings. I recently switched to the DR Black Beauties, 10 gauge handmade coated strings. Although slightly more expensive, they last longer, protect against corrosion from dirt, sweat, and humidity, and I find them easier to slide. I’m considering the possibility of switching to the 11 gauge in the same series.
For my Fender acoustic, I’m currently using 11 gauge DR Rares. Like the other DR strings, these are handmade as well. Some people have voiced their concern regarding handmade strings due to the lack of consistency, but I haven’t had any complications yet.
It’s time for me to introduce you to my favorite headache. This guitar has cost me a small fortune over the years, but I still refuse to part with it.
I purchased this guitar about 4 years ago. I saw it sitting at Guitar Center in the used guitar section and couldn’t resist. Ever since, I haven’t found anyone else selling the same model. This BC Rich NJ Series has a Floyd Rose Speedloader string set and a transparent red finish. I’m seriously considering installing the EMG 81/85 pickup combo on this guitar to improve the sound.
Locating replacement strings for this guitar has been a serious complication. I currently order them online from The Music Farm. They have an amazing selection of quality stylish guitars, accessories, and more.
