Anong gauge mo ngayon sir? Naka Elixir 10s ako ngayon pero baka this week, palitan ko ng 9s.. check ko kung kailangan ko pa i-adjust yung action and intonation..  :-)

Naka-Elixir Nanoweb 9s ako ngayon. Dati Rotosound 9s. (Buti naubusan ng stock ng Rotosound 9s ung binibilhan ko, kasi kung hindi, baka hindi ko naisipang subukan ang Elixir :lol:)

If you are using 9's from the start, intonation will be fine, but if you go to higher gauge, 80% of the time you will need to have your guitar set up to accommodate the heavier gauge.

Thanks, good to hear that. Guess my inner OC can have a rest.

Try thicker. :) You will need to adjust but I promise that your playing and tone will get bigger better with thicker strings! ;)

I was on 11's before when I was using my Les Paul. Kaya lang di ako makapag 11's on my Eclipse, ayoko lang lagyan ng 11's yung Earvana. OC eh. lol. Pero yung RGR naman, standard/drop D tuning using Elixir 10's. Just feels really stiff. Pero wow padin yung string life. Hands down. And no 14's please. Haha!

You will notice bigger volume from that. Strum your old set first remember how it sounds, then slap them elixirs and hear the difference. :)

will buy one from Lyric later for my strat... mahal pero no choice ako, few people offered a set for a cheaper price pero di lang muna ako available sa mga preferred meeting place nila. PhP 775 for gauge 10 (nanoweb). Laki din ng patong

halos lahat ng guitars ko magiging elixire babes na.

installed 9's on my guitar November last year.  till now it didn't break.  still feels and sounds great(felt weird and slippery though the first time i slapped it in).  i'm a fairly hard picker.

No worries. I'll get from you next time. I'm planning to change the strings of my gretsch guitar, naka elixir din siya pero I think it's time na rin.

Using Nanoweb Light gauge on my strat.

It has been 6 months and it's still shiny!

Tho, I clean them before and after use,

Minsan napapa-isip ako, kalokohan na ata toh.

Ang kinang parin! It still have that twang sound too.
