ScaryLarry Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Hi I am new to Heritage and the forum, so please excuse me if this topic has been discussed before. I did try to search for it before posting. I just purchased a 2013 Eagle Classic. I was wondering what strings others use. I primarily play blues (rhythm & lead) and therefore like to do a lot of string bends. I believe the stings that came on it are D'Addario Flat wound 12s, but they feel much larger. Also, I was wondering if anyone had a pdf of the specs or brochure for the 2013 models. Thanks, SLarry

Genericmusic Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Thomastik-Infield are great but here's another option. http://www.throbak.com/throbak-guitar-strings.html
Guitarbean Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 I'd try more cost effective strings first if not familiar with Thomasik. My teacher turned me onto GHS Nickel Rockers...he uses them on his archtop. Livelier sounding than traditional flats. They're like an in between.
Frank67 Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 On such a classy archtop I wouldn't try to save a few bucks on strings. Depending on your taste Thomastik Jazz Swing 13s or Thomastik Bebop rounds 13 will be great!

ScaryLarry Posted May 4, 2016 Author Posted May 4, 2016 Thanks for the string recommendations everyone. I appreciate it. Best, SLarry
StephenK Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 SL I really like the sound and feel of Monel Strings. For electric Pyramid Monel Classic. My 2 cents. Peace, Stephen
