FYI, im using lp custom alpine white.
I was using e.balls since i have it.
And i changed to D'addario that day.
Guess what?
i found that D'addario sounds very weird.
It gives me the feeling like "kang kang kang".
im SURE there's no problem with my strings installation.
Just wanna wonder here who tried them both b4?

And how do you rate your D'addario strings in 5?

my rating is 2.5/5

I love d'addario's. Maybe coz i use them more often. I like the feel of the thicker strings. I used EB's before but i use d'addario's more coz the shop who sells ernie balls always tutup lol.

4.5/5

You have to get them "worn in" first.
I didn't like D'addarios for my Lp-100, but I love them in my RR3.

But try Dunlop for your LP man....... to me they sound really good.

Yea, the strings are thicker. so im feel weird when playing them.

i think i know wat's ur feel. i got the same problem too.

Jim Dunlop strings. Youc an find them and Bents and Guitar Collection. Around RM25 a pack.

D'Addario! cheaper

I like EB's but they last like toilet rolls. Although D'addario's don't sound and feel as good as EB's, at least they help me save more money.

Totally agree with this man!

Haha, its good that got ppl understands my pain.
So what are u going to do with it?
Remove them?

I used to use D'Addario 0.09-0.42 / 0.10-0.46.. But eventually,I prefer Ernie Ball 0.11-0.48 Power Slinky... It sounds warmer to me ...and it doesn't break much when i'm playing.. D'Addario always breaks especially when i am doing bendings ..

yeap.
Im thinking whether wanna remove my d'addario which installed in my lp.

*ps* i just broke my 1st string just now when playing "smooth - santana"

did you wipe ur string after u play? after i hav the habit of wiping the strings each time after i play, the strings last longer.

yup. replaced them with ernie balls regular slinky. my fav strings

hmm, a thought. which famous guitarists use d'addario's? most are using ernie balls right? maybe i should try EB's again

the pink package?

anyone tried ernie ball rps-10's? do they sell them here? like in bentley or something?

to me...

daddario (usuali the nickel wound) sounded so much warmer
EBs are brighter and it jus sounded more to ur face kinda feel


but u noe sum people's hand sweat wud kill dadd in less than a week but better with EB
and vice versa


so mus see u got "缘 faith" with it or nt haha

i seriously dont get what you mean.

actually, i find tat Ernie Ball rust kinda fast. I'm using D'addario's now. Thinking of switching to GHS Boomers or Dean Markley Cool Strings.
Elixer strings are good too, but the price will kill.

but the best strings when i was starting out was those "cap Ayam" brand of strings. No matter how much u play, they dun seem to rust, although sound abit crappy at times, but it was good because i was on a budget.

I try Ernies once in a while but find that I always go back to Daddarios. To me Ernie are the ones that are easier to break between the two.

For acoustics though I prefer ghs though, I don't know where to find them here.
