H535UK Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Hi, does anyone know what string gauge H535s come with from the factory? I think the high e string is '10, but I'm not sure about the others. Many thanks!
kidsmoke Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 my 535 LOVE's 10-50's 10-14-20w-28-40-50 That extra beef on the bass side sounds ooohhhh so fine.
Polo Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Factory ships out with 10-46 (GHS I think) but I exclusively put DR Blues 11s on my H535. The Seth's and I love them.
H535UK Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 I put D'Addario Nickel Wound "Medium Top/Heavy Bottom" (11, 14, 18, 30, 42, 52) on, which I used on a previous ES335. I adjusted the truss rod, but the g string seemed to go out of tune easily, so I thought maybe the slit at the nut might be too tight. '18 for the g string doesn't seem that much of a difference to the '17 it had from the factory. I tweaked the saddle and now it seems fine. I really like heavy bass strings as long I don't have to do lots of bendings...
Gitfiddler Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Yep, they've used GHS Boomers (Battle Creek, MI) for years at Heritage. Good strings. Consistent quality has been my experience. http://www.ghsstrings.com/videos/1967400 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoEKdH7qR74#t=19
Blunote Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I've been using the GHS 10-46 Nickel Rockers for the last 5 years. Give 'em a try sometime.
