What Strings to Use on DKMG

[StarRider]

Just wondering what strings you guys use on DKMGs
I've always used Fender strings on my Fenders, but not sure what to use on my new DKMG
Any sugestions?
BTW: it does have the JT580 LP Tremolo

Re: What Strings to Use on DKMG

buy yourself 3 sets, try them and make your mind up that way. i've always used the factory strings until they break. then i just buy any 25"inch scale set. i have a wrmg, not a dkmg but it has exactly the same hardware. as far as i know, all guitars are pre-strung with guage 9 strings. i rarely break strings but i generally use 10's.

Jacksons come standard with D'Addario 9s, I believe. Why not just stick with your Fender strings?

I usually buy bulk 3 or 10 packs of D`Addario 9-42`s. Jack.

Are Fender Bullets good for 25" scale like the DLMG has?

Re: What Strings to Use on DKMG

Sure, you'd just cut the ball/bullet end of the string off anyway to insert into the Floyd saddles. Both guitars have the 25.5" scale anyway, but it doesn't really matter what scale the guitar has.

Cool thanks....I didnt know the 22 fret and 24 fret guitars take the same strings

Re: What Strings to Use on DKMG

A 29 fret guitar would take the same strings dude.

Re: What Strings to Use on DKMG

I went for the D'Addario XL .009-.042 set
This is the the set that Jacksons come with?
Thanks guys

Using the Fender strings now would make sence for sure. Jack.

Re: What Strings to Use on DKMG

DR's are very good for punchy hard rock. The 9's seem a little thicker than most sets I've played and a little stiffer, but still very bendable. I love em!

ernie ball, skinny top/heavy bottoms. or for a more "expensive" feel, ernie ball 9-42's.
