acoustic strings copper/bronze coated...
electric nickel coated....

it can be done but it would be pointless anyway.... the action will still be almost the same....

actually i read on an interview that SRV uses light strings more than his .013s
the strings were too hard on his fingers and he couldnt play because of the bleeding...

OT/ read on the article... SRV wanted to imitate his brothers trick, which is to bounce the guitar off the wall...
ended up with a broken neck instead....HAHAHAHAHAHA
its hard to imagine his reaction... especially with that southern accent....lolol

I think he used 10s or 11s...
i know lenny was strung with lighter strings... only 4 springs at the back
pickups were microphonic and they came with the stock guitar
