Best Strings for 360 6 string?

Post by larsongs »

I have a Mapleglo 90's Ric 360 6 String. I have always used Ric 10-42 Rounds just like it came with new.

What do you all use & why?

Thanks,

L

I used RIC strings for a long time. Now I use Curt Mangan "Pick of the Ricks" sets for 6 and 12, which you can get at... wait for it... Pick of the Ricks. :)

A 2nd hand 360 (2014) came with strings which measured roughly 49 38 27 19 14 11

No idea which brand, but I love them, these give a kind of silky smoothly coated feel (a bit of an abstract description I realize)

Thing is, wondering if these could still be the original strings... probably not, with these thicknesses.

Time has come to replace, would love same brand, but no idea what it was.... the ball ends don't give a clue here, the usual brass ring (all 6)

Bye
