Best strings/guage for Ric 360??

Post by dead_eye »

Hi all,
As I've so proudly stated in my other post I got a new Ric 360-6 on NewYear's Eve she was born on 11/04,and she's the finest Ric 360-6 ever made!!!How can I make such a bold statment you wounder????BECAUSE SHE'S MINE!!!!!So much for lousy jokes,Im thinking of putting on a new set of strings for her,and I would greatly appriciate your recommendations for string brand and guage.I was reading my Rick manual and the strings Ric puts on their guitars are not standard at all,why is that? On my Gretsch 1952 Electromatic I use Elixer electrics 11's ,on my Strat,Tele and G&L I use Ernie Ball Super Slinkys in 9'S,and on my Carvin AE-185-12 I use GHS Boomers 10-46's.I get good results with them all,but now that I have my new baby ,and soon she will need new strings I would like to know what you guys & Gals use on your Rics.
Thanks Much,
Paul

Hi, contragulations on the 360, I'm sure you'll enjoy even more as time passes by and you play more and more.

For the strings you can check out the Strings forum if you haven't already here: ../239/239.html"#EECD9C">

Pyramid Gold FLatwound 11's give a thumpy jangle that's awesome. They also last forever.
