Peter Buck

There was a question awhile back about what type and gauge strings Peter Buck uses on his Rickenbacker 360 Jetglo. This response was posted to the alt.guitar.rickenbacker Newsgroup in April 1999. It's a rather heavy set consisting of:

1st - .013 Plain- Swedish Steel
2nd - .017 Plain- Swedish Steel
3rd - .026 Wound- Nickel Steel
4th - .036 Wound- Nickel Steel
5th - .046 Wound- Nickel Steel
6th - .056 Wound- Nickel Steel

These are Dean Markley individual strings. His guitar was at the factory so that he could have a new instrument set up exactly like his old one, using the string set listed above.
