    Been using NYXL 9-46 gauge for a few years myself and it’s a great blend of shred and chug! Highly recommend giving it a try. I haven’t broken a string since. As a matter fact, I walked into a guitar center a few weeks ago and tried a guitar on the wall and within 10 seconds I broke a string, I was so surprised! I had forgotten it was a thing to be worried about. Cheers Andy!

    and re NYXL vs XT .... I think the key is in playing style. I find NYXLs just never break. They seem to be able to handle any bends you want to give them. And I use mostly 8-38 these days (had to switch to super light strings to reduce joint pain. It sucks getting old.) And I never break them! If you never bend, maybe the coating gives you more mileage.

    Dude, the “box” reference was hilarious. Favorite Brad Pitt movie, Inglorious Bastards…

      Andy, one other question I had was to your reference of using a heavier gauged string for a Gibson compared to a Fender. I’ve got a Music Man JP-15 that I use 10 to 46 down a half step or 9.5 to .44’s standard tuning, but find my D’Angelico Excel SS handles 10.5’s better. Thanks for confirming my finger’s thoughts.

    Hey, i would love to see a video about setting up a 'modern' electric guitar (like your sig for example). And i m not talking about a 'this is how you adjust the neck and you change the strings like this' i would like to see a full setup from 0-100% (adjusting saddles to fretboard radius for example), maybe together with your guitar tech? Or with someone from suhr?
    Cheers

    Been using 9-46 for several years now. Just the happiest medium on my guitars. The only problem is the set up I prefer doesn't do well for slide playing. Too light! Everything else they're perfect.

    I've been 9-46 for fender scale, standard and half tone down for years. Let's let hit the bottom heavier without less tuning weirdness, but top is nice and bendy. Been using elixir Nanowebs until the pandemic and had to make the switch to d'addario. I like the sound of NYXL, but the feel of the XT, but neither as much as the Nanowebs

    My Harrison Ford is probably Blade Runner (original). I like him in many of his movies though, but that movie was different and cool, imo. My Brad Pitt would be A River Runs Through It because that was a great movie and he was good in it. Don't know why i commented about this, i guess because Andy brought it up.

    Don't know which Is my favorite movie from Brad but my favorite character from him is Cliff from Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, if I were to pick a movie, I'd go with fight club as well.
    I haven't seen anything from Harrison apart from Blade Runner.

    As a pro musician who plays 3-5 nights a week I NEVER break strings, lol. I dont sweat much and its not super corrosive. I'd say in the last 3 years I've broken about 2 strings. High E's of course. I use 9-42, D'Addario

    Brad Pitt? Mickey, the bare-knuckle “Pikey”. From SNATCH. I kinda like E.B. Super Slinky’s on six stringers. I put fresh strings on my Precision bass when I bought it used in 1979.

    I’m gonna go off the board with the first thing that came in my mind for Mr. Pitt, and that’s “Rusty Ryan” eating and drinking in all of the Ocean 11 movies. 🎲 🎥 Ha!

      @chrislestermusic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m with you on that one. “Seven” influenced so many movies and TV shows. It’s one of the best visually. In the same breath “Fight Club” did the same thing as far as influence. Visually stunning. Tyler Durden wins.

    String story, about two weeks after Phil lynott died, so January 1986, I went into town, Reading, England to get new strings and at the time was using Dean Markley as that's what Gary Moore was using.
    So bought the strings and stood at the bus stop waiting for the bus home and who should walk past the bus stop with his new wife having recently moved to Henley-on-Thames, about 10 miles up the road towards London, but Gary and I'm stood there arguing with myself in my head as to wether that is Gary walking past me and quickly convinced myself it really is him, so left the queue and called out to Gary, and he and his wife stopped and turned around and I said can I have your autograph please, and he said yeah sure, so I pulled out the pack of Dean Markley strings blown away that Gary Moore was going to sign my pack of the same strings he endorsed, thinking he's bound to be impressed when he uttered the devastating words 'but I haven't got a pen', ....and totally crushed, I just said oh! Ok as not wishing to inconvenience him further and just walked back to the bus stop dazed and totally depressed that I'd missed a golden opportunity to get Gary Moore's autograph on a pack of the very strings he used.
    Still gives me that awful feeling in the pit of my stomach when thinking back to that missed opportunity.😫😫😫

    Steve Lukathers hands are very acidic. His guitars would come through the shop after a night at The Baked Potato and be rusted the next morning. New strings before the gig. Maybe it helps the tone.lol
