And speaking of DR Sunbeams...
...not that I am trying to hijack the thread, but if anyone who uses them can also clarify something about the guages, I would be grateful. I usually use standard light strings (12-54) and I play in some dropped tunings (CGCGCD). If I wanted to try out the DRs, would I need to get a higher guage in the DR Sunbeams to have the right tension? I have heard that they are different than the usual guage strings but is that just in feel or tension as well?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Jayne |

I have been using the DR Sunbeam "medium-heavy" (13's) strings on my Gibson AJ and they sound very good. I originally used light gauge, which sounded OK, but the heavier Sunbeams really do sound outstanding on this guitar. Really brought it to life. To me, they feel heavier than light gauge strings but they are quite a bit easier than the typical medium string set. Regards, Glenn |

Quick question,
the packaging says to wind the strings slowly. How slow is slowly? Should I wind them by hand then? When I tried them (medium-heavy) the bass response seemed dead, so I think I might have messed up somehow. |
