In 1964 a Rickenbacker 360/12 would have come from the factory
strung with Rickenbacker set 483 which was flatwound, low
tension, round core. That is the sound of the Beatles and Byrds
on that year.
Pyramid 308/12 is the modern set most similar to Rickenbacker 483.242_foxtrot wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 9:14 pm I've been using Pyramid 308/12 extra extra light strings. Round
