Life too short for long TH-cam videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
Mick here. Dan and I have recently changed our string brand to Curt Mangan - www.curtmangan.com/ - so with all the Strat vlogging going on lately, I thought I’d use this opportunity to change the strings on Blue and talk briefly through some of the issues arising - gauges, materials, longevity, breakages and all that.
This isn’t a stringing masterclass and there aren’t any experts involved. Just one guitar fan to another. Or 178,000 others at the current time. Eeek!
Dan and I will be selling our custom gauges of Curt Mangan strings via the TPS store when we get stock - a few weeks out from the date of this video.
• Mick's gauges for Strat will be 10.5 / 14 / 17 / 28 / 40 / 50
• Dan's gauges for Tele (and Mick's Gibsons) will be 11 / 14 / 18 / 30 / 42 / 52
Now, look. Everyone’s string preference is different, so PLEASE don’t think we’re saying they’re ‘better’ than your current strings. They're really not - it's just a matter of pure personal preference. But if you do want to buy some strings from us, we will have them available in a few weeks, all of which helps fund the making of TPS. But don't feel obliged, and don't get angry. Please.
To whit… for anyone commenting, “Oh man, you should really try //insert whatever strings I should try here//…”
Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve been playing the guitar for over 30 years now and I’ve tried most things. I really, really, really like the regular D’Addario XLs I’ve been using for ages… but I like these more. So that’s what I’m using now.
There’s a bit of entirely unnecessary playing at the end. Not sure what I was hoping to achieve, but let’s do it anyway. Ha!

Great tones Mick, always enjoy your playing.
BRILLIANT Mick thanks for this. As one fan to another, I look forward to trying your set asap. Neat.
Glad you guys are hip to these. Guitarist Allen Hinds first turned me on to these a while back. You're absolutely right, I put them on and they feel just broken in enough to go for it. My favorites are the pure nickel but I got back n forth only since the pure nickel strings have a short sweet spot for me. Looking forward to checking out the signature sets
Great vid! So excited for the next vlog since I’ve been thinking about getting the fender cs fat 60s pups... looking forward to it!
Yess! Love me some Mick Vlogs
Very interesting episode, there's so many elements to guitar tone and just being comfortable with the instrument *mind blown* also I heard that Joey Landreth solo, awesome playing as always! 👏👏
Appreciated the opening lick to “made-up mind”! 👍. You and Dan were the ones who introduced me to the Bros Landreth, and I am Forever Greatful!
Great vlog!i have started using 9-46 standard tuning on my strats and my PRS DGT.Main reason for me is the feel of the floating tremolos.
My local mom&pop guitar store has carried Mangan strings forever..... love those strings!
Mick- thank you for this! I watched this when it came out from sheer curiosity, but tonight I decided to put a new pick guard on my Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster, thus removing all the strings, and when I went to restring it I realized you had JUST showed how to use these tuners! (It's my first time restringing the Jazzmaster, so I hadn't been through this before.) Once again TPS comes through as my best source of guitar education on TH-cam!
More Wah!
Finding the right set of strings can be quite the journey. After playing stock sets for ever, I tried putting my own ones together. I really loved a 12-60 set on my Les Paul in e flat, but long rehearsals could get a bit tiring towards the end, so I went down to 11-56, and I quite enjoy that. Brandwise I keep coming back to Ernie Ball, they have a really nice brightness to my ears.
Curt Mangan Pure Nickel Round Core strings are exceptional. So also are there Round Core Bronze strings. They have great tension and intonation. And they last a long time. I haven't changed mine in a year, and they still sound full and clear. Great stuff! Coloradoooooooo!!!!
Totaly agree about the tuners. HAve the same kind on my strat. Got a two screw Wilkinson, floating trem. I can do divebombs and hard use of the trem and still stay pretty much in tune.
I am following your Chanel quite a while now. Just so Good to see that kind of nerdi coolness arround that Hobby. Simply love it. You should have more subscribers. Greets from Germany. Have Schwang
Totally agree about those tuners. My CS strat from 1990 and Musician sabre never get string slip and I string up like you. Great tuners. My old G&L F100 had them too.
I agree, those are the best and most consistent locking tuners. I used to have locking tuners (Fender and Sperzel and Shaller), but the strings break way faster at the tuning peg or they slip.
After close to 50 years of playing I didn’t think there would be much to ‘ learn’ about strings for me. On the strength of tps advice a couple of years ago I stepped up from 10s to 10.5 ( D Gilmour GHS initially). Your VLog has confirmed much what I thought. Cold steel va hot steel saddles was something new. I still have to do some work to get my strat/rig sounding like your delicious tone. Thanks I enjoyed.
Great vlog Mick, also great meeting you and Dan at NAMM, it was a great little chat!! Cheers!!
How interresting can string changing be?
Well,... still learned some little tips & tricks. Thanks Mick for taking the time to post it online!
Ha! Thank you! Hopefully guitar stuff is always a little bit interesting... :0)
can't wait to order a whole box of your custom strings! it's really nice to be able to connect your playing with talents you admire -if that makes any sense lol thanks!
For the work you all put into this you deserve everything that comes your way. You share a lot of great information in a way that is constructive and not destructive. Kudo’s.
I've been playing Curt Mangan Monel 9-42s for the last month or so and I really love them. They aren't too noodley nor too stiff, and they sound somewhere between a warm pure nickel string and a bright nickel plate. I can't see myself switching anytime soon.
Oh nice! I tried monels on my acoustic and really liked them.
I love Curt Mangans, they're so balanced that they almost sound compressed when you're playing them. I use them on my 335, but I find them a little dull on my Tele so I use Stringjoys on those
I've used D'Addario XL115 11s for 20-odd years, and am very happy with them. I use them on my Les Paul and Tele - enjoy the extra 'snap' they provide - I don't even really notice the difference of scale length...I've tried every string out there...except... Mangan's...Thanks for tossing a stone into my calm pond...🤨 I, like you sometimes find D'Addarios a little 'stiff' but always assumed that was just a thing to put up with for playing 11s...Changing your string brand/string gauge is the cheapest way to find "your sound" there is, and I'm always surprised at how little it gets discussed...Suppose I'll try some Mangan's now...Thanks (I suppose...) for shaking me out of my complacency.
oooooh :D A friend sold me on some D'addario NYXLs and although the standard gauge might be a wee bit harsh on the fingers, the zing hasn't dulled in a couple of months of practice which is astounding to me. But I'm still pretty open on alternatives so thanks for giving us all something to think about.
Mick at it again with ol' blue. Gonna have to change my strings now, that brand new string feeling is so wonderful!
Nice Landreth riff, mate...
Cool vid. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
I started out when I was just a little using Ernie Ball slinky’s & every time I try & go with another brand I always end up going back to Ball’s. Sadly I use 11-50 now which Ernie Ball doesn’t make so that’s frustrating having to order packs of 50’s. I just now am trying their new paradigm stings & I’m really liking them so far.
wow, such a difference in reverberation when you moved to the TPS set. Excellent example of how acoustic treatment improves clarity of sound recording...
Please make an episode in which you say 'I have David Gilmour accompanying me today'... and actually bring him on!
That would be cooooool.
That Pedal Show , an episode about David Gilmour guitar auction !!!!! Why ....history you have personally with your guitars and would you sell them after 50 years of love , etc...Me not !!!!! But an episode about that relationship between people and gear and Gilmour would be awesome ! Kind regards from Vannes, France
Except he ma6 have sold all of his guitars by then so it might be too late!
@@ThatPedalShow id recommend the optima 24k gold brian may signature strings. I know dan like myself is a massive brian may fan. I use them on my red special replica. Really nice but expensive!
Can TPS get Mr David Gilmour to drop in or a Show at his place and All of his Pedals?
Love how much resonance your guitar has Mick !
Thank you!
I LOVE those tuning pegs. The ONE thing I DON'T like about my American Standard is the staggered Gibson-style posts on the pegs.
I am currently trying the Curt Mangan 11-54 set on my strat. I didn't initially like them, but once you get used to how they are a bit more resistant, it's not bad. Coming from NYXL 10-52
I’ve been using the string winder that goes on my drill to do it fast. U just have to remember to stop early and put it on a low speed
Great vlog! And nice editing, haha I lolled many times.
Always happy to listen to you playing Mick, so never "entirely unnecessary"!
Bless you, thank you!
Awesome playing! I’ve got the Dude pedal and it’s amazing
I use a custom gauge set of SIT Strings 11 / 14 / 18 / 30 / 40 / 50 Power Wound Nickel and love them.
The way I string up these vintage style tuners, is to pull the string taught, then cut it two tuners past the one you're stringing up. Then put the end in the hole, bend it to the OUTSIDE, and then wrap it back around to the inside and tune up keeping tension on the string. It gives nice consistent winds and stays in tune perfectly
Hey Mick! I quite enjoyed 20-some minutes of watching you change strings! As the still fairly recent (10 months?) owner of a '63 Strat--and also someone who played nothing but Gibsons for the first 20 or so years of my guitar playing life--watching you carry on with the slotted string tuning pegs was very helpful. Mind you, I've managed well enough on my own, but it was very encouraging to watch you and hear your take on these. I trust I will come to love them, too. At first, I just could not believe that they would not slip; but they don't! Cheers!
Congratulations on that Strat. I covet my neighbours guitar. There, I said it.
I, for one, quite like the added brightness of the Callahan. Of course I don't know what Blue sounds like in a room but it was a significant improvement to my ears.
I'm glad I hear someone else say that these are the best locking tuners. I've been saying that for years, but nobody here takes me seriously. I've had Sperzel locking tuners. Two of them were useless within a year. I never had any problems with these slotted Fender type tuners. Except once, when I tried to widen the slot on the post of the low E string on my '82 Dan Smith strat with a butter knife, because my .068 string wouldn't fit (don't ask). These tuners were made of die cast material. One side of the slot snapped. I'll never make that mistake again.
But again, they're the best. I struggle to restring all my other guitars that don't have them, but those Fenders (Klusons)? No problem whatsoever. :-)
Elixirs for me. Tried D'Addario (nickels and NYXL when they came out). Tried EB (Slinky and the Cobalts when they came out). My hands eat strings. Shifted to Elixirs for both electric and acoustic and I get ages out of sets and they're rock stable.
Same here. I absolutely love how EB Slinkys feel out of the packet. Bright, smooth, and sooo bendy. Fast-forward a few days and they're mellow, harsh, and stiff. Elixir is where it's at now.
Mick, i've been seeing you on youtube for a long long time, and i gotta say that your playing has evolved substantially! You've become an AMAZING guitar player!
PS: Your Movember demo on the Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys Mini Fuzz Face made me buy it and it hasn't left my board ever since! So thank you!
Wow, thank you Luis. Hanging out with Dan so much and all the cool people we've had on the show is helping me to improve and evolve. For me having a tone that is truly inspiring is the biggest part of the deal. Thank you for the kind words!
@@ThatPedalShow Thank you both for doing what you do! I'm sure that you've reached a lot of people in the same way you've reached me!
Good info. We do change strings almost the same...I use a Doctor Duck chuck on my Black an Decker VPX drill motor for a string winder...I've used D'addario for so long now not sure what I like anymore cause these strings are all I remember...!'m 67 so it's not like I'm fickle but I am in the middle of changing the gauge from 11/49 back down to 10/46...going to mess with several things to get the tone I like....Homer Formby's lemon oil on Rosewood a couple times a year and a good cleaning. a drop of teflon based lube also a couple times a year. I stretch my strings a bunch when new and get a ton of crud from other plkayers about streaching the life out??? can't use a trem till the strings are stretched right????...have a wunnerful and keep up with the info.
Hmmm....may have to try a set of Dan spec and see whether I prefer them over the Matt Schofield sets I currently use...
Agree about the tuners. They look cool, make restringing very easy and they hide those nasty sharp ends
That’s a lovely shirt Mick!
I only use curt mangans! If you live in the area, Austin Guitar House always has a TON in stock.
We sure do!
Mangan’s are the ONLY string that I’ll use. And Austin Guitar House is the ONLY shop I get them from.
The songwriting on the new Kacey Musgraves record is so good. She is definitely not just another throw away pop artist.
I can`t wait to try those strings, I use the same gauges than Dan but the D`Addario regular get corroded after few days and the NYXL a bit expensive on three guitars what I use for rehearsing and gigging.
You might be a guitar nerd if... you enjoy watching someone change strings. I did enjoy it 😀
My finger sweat makes strings turn black within three hours. I can only really work with Elixir and luckily the latest incarnation (OptiWeb) is quite usable. They last forever which is nice but I'd love to try different options from time to time.
For years and years... Like 30 probably. I've used Ernie Ball 10s but recently annoyed with how quickly they are tarnishing like almost as soon as I fit them. I'm about to try D'addario as used for some time on acoustics which for years I struggled to find anything I was happy with. Then I tried Elixir after getting a couple of free sets at a show. They were really impressive on acoustics. So I got a couple of electric sets in those multi pack offers so I'll try them to. Maybe I'll try the Carl Mangen but I think your set will be just tad too heavy for me
I think breaking strings is some sort of personality thing, i almost never break strings aswell while a former bandmate struggled with breaking strings all day, he sold me his guitar later and i still had no issues.
I actually want to try Curt Mangan strings now. I had D'Addario for a while but then i tried DR now D'Addario are too stiff for me! Changed to DR Drop-Down 10-46 for standard and slightly lower tunings, DR Jeff Healey signature 10-56 for C modal.
I used to break strings left and right but eventually I became a less crappy guitarist.
LOVE THE GUITAR!!!!!!!
I’m looking for a 11.5 - 54 or 56 set for my E flat Strats. But I’ve been using the Ernie ball beefy slinky 11-54 sometimes D’darrio balanced sets to get the sizes I want. The standard 12 sets seem a little too heavy for me. I’m in south Texas and it’s hard to find exactly what I want at a music store so I go to Guitar center that’s close to the house with the biggest selection which is crap.
switched to elixirs after 10 years of d'addario. they dont feel alot different playing wise but damn they are smooth. perfect for everyone who doesnt enjoy the 'dirty' feel.
Always used D'Addario 9-42 on my 25.5 scale guitars. Now I'm trying out the 9-46 for the heavier bottom strings since my Gretsch always had 10-52. I played the Gretsch mainly and got so used to the tension of the lower strings, even using 42 low E on the longer scale just feels like mush!
I would love to spend a few dollars and find a custom set that works with me.
Would be interested in trying these over my usual D'addario 10-52's but I really don't want to switch to paying a tenner per pack of strings when the XL's are £15 for three sets on Amazon.
Dude, that is one big, lovely table.
As I was rushedly writing from another account before my phone died - I have watched more guitar and general YT videos than any one sane person should, and the video quality, along with where you're sat, is one of the nicest looking vids I've yet seen. Would love to see more in that spot if you have anything to natter about!
Wow, thank you kindly!
Creating a Composer Agreed
@@Justic3h I'd be lying if I said your profile picture had no effect on how I read that in my head.
I used to put on a new set of Ernie Balls or D, Addarios and I would have an awful muted sound (typical dead sting) after around an hour or so.
After hearing Scott Grove talk about him having exactly the same thing when he used regular strings, he suggested I try Elixir strings and they changed my whole world ahah. I found that I could change string once every 4-6 months and always have that crystal clear sound associated with new strings. I know not everyone likes that sounds but it's when I feel the guitar is most alive and has the most harmonicaly pleasing sound.
I had a set on for 12 months and they still sounded okay before I took them on.
@@foottapiologist I agree some of the things he says are painful to watch. But this genuinely made a huge difference to me because as a student. Elixirs last me on average 6 months per set. And normal non coated strings last max of a week. It has saved me so much money!
Out of all the strings I have played, D'addario and Curt Mangans have been my favorite. Curts i use for more standard or half step down. A d'addario i use for more drop tunings, whole step down, drop c, drop d.
Ive used d'addario on every instrument I have played (bass, guitar, acoustic) for 20 years :-)
@@johnwalliss I started on d'addario maybe over 10 years ago. I have tried other brands here and there. Always go back to the d'addario. But I do like the warmth and flexabilty of the Curt Mangans. Especially on the 25.5 inch scale type guitars the Curts feel nice. But I primarily and will be a d'addario guy.
@@johnathan.jerusik please stop calling them daddrio
D'Adarrio NYXLs are the best strings I've tried. Can't fault them at all.
@@j.i.weyllandin7439 my apology, my phone autocorrects D'Addario to daddario. If it bothers you that much I will be more cautious.
My hat is off to you sir. You are truly a phenomenal guitarist! 🧐
Blimey, thank you!
I love the feeling of new strings.
Been using standard D'addario 10's for Fender scale and 10.5's for Gibson scale forever (more companies need to do half gauges!)...will have to give the Mangans a try
EXL110 strings last 1 week max for me... so I have to get the long life ones. I’ve found Elixir’s to be the best in this regard. And they sound pretty good too...
Mick! The two amp setup sounded fantastic!
Thank you!
HEY MICK! great video the strat is sounding great congratulations on winning the music is win name as many guitarist in 10 seconds challenge!!!!
Wooohooo! Those years in magazines paid off. ;0)
Thanks for not "selling" strings. I'm getting started on a string-quest for my epiphone, and was hoping hear more about the feel of strings than "these are the best ever!", followed by some over distorted shredding.
I've typically used d'addarios, elixirs or Dr's in the past. But with the epiphone, it's probably time to do some exploring.
Good vlog, Mick.
If it's an Epiphone with a Tune O Matic+stop bar you could also experiment with wrapping over the stop bar. It reduces tension and can allow you to go up a gauge without it being too hard on the fingers. I like 011-48s wrapped over on LP/SG type guitars
myself
@@steffenla4
Thanks, I'm planning to do that for the dedicated slide rig. I need to get the action up on that one, but wanted to keep the stopbar nailed to the body. Seemed like the best way to keep the angles close to stock.
If it works out, I'll do the same to the epiphone
I love those vintage tuners. Easy string changes.
i use sperzel locking tuner, bu i think the vintage are really cool
Great idea!
Always need strings and can support the show at the same time.
What’s not to love :)
Love it, channeling your inner Joey!
I've been playing since forever and still suck at restringing. I've tried different methods but I'm all fingers and thumbs, and most of the time can't get each successive wind to sit beneath the previous one. So I put off changing strings for as long as possible. I like the basic, simple Ernie Ball 10-46 but maybe the Elixirs would work because they are supposed to last longer.
This is in response to the q and a vlog that went out yesterday and then also this where you had said that locking tuners eventually slip and wear down... had that problem myself ...... .... until i found the grover locking tuners that simply lock as you turn the tuner knob....there isnt any trickery and it stays put for years without slipping .... i also find them much easier and faster to install new strings on as well ... ! I understand about not wanting to change them out on a vintage instrument, but why not try them out on something that isnt vintage and has tuning instability...
... thanks guys for the great info .. cheers ...from the states
Glad you like em Chris. But they're a solution to a problem I don't have. And they're heavy! Light light light is what I like like like!
Will we ever get a video about string material? I've been reading about string history and it's absolutely fascinating. Fender went from shipping flatwound 12s on Strats to 10-38s pure nickel to modern day 9-42 Nickel wrap! I wonder if that's why Strats sound bigger with thicker strings as that is what they were designed for... Shame I'm not strong enough for 12s!
Off subject, Dan and his work are mentioned and shown in premier guitars latest rig rundown video.
i use the SRV insulation over the bridge hole. no breakages
I get through a set of strings every gig. I’ve even had to restring a guitar after playing an afternoon gig for an evening show. It’s a real pain!
I’m not even a sweaty person. 🥺
I've started using 10.5 - 50 Gilmore signature ghs strings on one of my Les Pauls and I'm really liking them. I stay with 11's on my Strats for the most part, the 11's just seem to give the strat more of everything good. I'm looking forward to hearing the results of you pickup change. Is that still coming?
Have you ever tried pyramid electric guitar strings on some guitars I use the 11th through I don't know 52 or whatever it is and on others I use the 12-54 on my Les Paul with P90s the 12 through 54 is really work well and strangely they don't feel too stiff
I love curt magnum strings !
Really enjoying this journey of yours Mick. You're in my "gang". Stratocaster's rule, I just love em. All the little tweaks make a difference, the audience might not hear it. But, YOU can feel/hear it when you play :-)
Totally! The little things. :0)
We start the show
With Dan and Mick saying “Hello!”
Pretty soon the melody
Sounds like a wet, dry, wet, damp symphony
We start the show...
-to the tune of “Made Up Mind” (Bros Landreth)
I think Joey Landreth should rewrite and re-record a new version of your theme song with you two
Have you had a cup of coffee too much? ;) I used Ernie('s) Balls for years, but they've started to become inconsistent. As in rusty sets, g-strings having a intonation that was totally off and the like. I settled for cheap Fender nickle plated steel. Also Fender locking tuners for the win. ;)
Nice drop in of a Landreth tune there Mick
Nice vid thanks, just put klusons on my Squier...
Would the tension of a 10.5 on the Strat feel the same when on a LP? Also, I'm currently a normal 10-46 (XL)... but would like to customise it a bit - say swap the 17 for a 16, and the 46 for a 48. Is there a way to buy 'tailored' sets, rather than a standard and then splashing out on two/three individual gauges?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t often hear Mick let the Strat feed back. That is absolutely glorious!
Oh, I have my moments. :0)
Mick, absolutely adored your tone with the Landreth riff. Can we be expecting any covers with the band?
Yeah, we do Made Up Mind which is cool. I need to get some sort of solo down... Trying to be Joey is a lost cause, so an alternative approach is required. :0) Man that guy is soooooo good.
What a sound. It’s often overlooked, but TPS mastering cannot get enough credit.
Thank you!
Cheers Mick, made me stop and consider my own choices, Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky, haven't tried anything different in 'cough' years, when you get some in the store I reckon I'll give them a go. Quite fancy a large black 'Shwang' as well (oh dear...). :)
Hey mick thanks for doing these vlogs as it gives information and inspires us to "step outside the box of norm ." Eg
Not sticking with scripted standards and finding things for your personal tastes and realising its not to difficult to do it. Thanks again .🤘
That's great to hear! That's the whole point of us doing this. Thanks you for watching!
I stretch my new strings Mick. After putting a new string on, I gently pull the string away from the fretboard and at a certain point you can clearly feel it 'give' a bit, and that does it for me.
String 'stretching in' is an abomination and ... it really isn't necessary. Strings need to be uniform to vibrate in a symmetrical, even fashion and to intonate properly. Pulling new strings through the bridge so that they scrape can damage the windings and then yanking and pulling on a freshly installed string can put a permanent bend in it. You may not see the bend when the string is at tension but it won't vibrate symmetrically. A couple of re-tunes and some bends / vibrato bar waggles should settle new strings quickly without any violent yanking.
@@ResoBridge Well..nuclear proliferation is an abomination, string stretching is at most a personal preference or a whim. I've been (note 'gently') stretching my new strings for 40 years Terry and nothing abominable (or even trivial for that matter), has ever resulted. I do it and get on with playing. No disasters, no damage, no worries.
Incidentally, Larry Carlton plays with a new set of strings for every performance. He stretches each string until it stabilizes and gets on with the gig. Perhaps you should drop him a line and tell him what he's doing wrong.
Mick, you ended up recreating almost exactly the David Gilmour custom set from GHS! They've been my go-to strings for over a year now
Oh blimey! I knew it wouldn't be entirely original. Nice company, you and David!
i hear brad paisley spank in it...the bottom end does shine more for sure midrange punches more still nice an clear treble to .... just a stupid question but when i move gauges to heavier in paticular i feel the guitar is stiffer in wieght like the guitar is is itself heavier ...so wondering your opinion on the wieght of a guitar an opinions on light or heavy in comparison ...i think a great topic for u an dan ...i played light strats an heavy strats ...as well wih other model guitars ...an the great debate on heavy is better thing in guitars...just a thought nice video mick
One of the best looking guitar videos I've seen. Cough cough pounds was a good price!
Thank you!
At what point when moving to a higher string gauge do I need to worry about having the nut re-slotted and making serious truss rod adjustments? Is this required every time? Any tell-tale signs that the nut is causing trouble? I have an American Pro Tele that plays beautifully, but I had it set up with .10s initially and regret not going for the .11s as I am afraid to mess with anything now!
@That Pedal Show most of my experience comes from the acoustic world where I've experimented with strings way more. I've noticed that certain strings worked really well on certain guitars and seemed to hate my other guitars. Just curious if you've ever had any experiences like this on electric?
