Strings for a 360/12C63?

Post by prjacobs »

Hi all,
New to the forum.... Can anyone help me with string recommendations for my 360/12C63. I put pyramids on there - .010 - .0465 and the neck wasn't happy. I'm about to put Thomasik Infield .010 - .044s on. I was told by Chris @ Pick Of The Ricks that they're a very low tension string. I'm using the 12 saddle bridge.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Great choice. Chris knows what he is talking about. I have the same T-I set on my C63.

My 660-12 is wearing a Ernie Ball 2230 set and I'm happy with them.
When I get un-lazy, I'll try a set on the McGuinn.

Yup, TI flat wounds on my C 63, but don't overlook Ric compressed round wounds, either

Just a thank you to everyone. The Thomasik Infield's are great! I'm happily twanging away :) .
