I know their are a few string pluckers here, so I've got a newbee question for youse.
I just picked up a used Epiphone LP and want to change the strings out. I've narrowed it down to two choices: Ernie Ball Super Slinky Tech Specs Guitar Type: Electric Guitar Number of Sets: 1 Number of Strings: 6 Coated: No Gauges: .009, .011, .016, .024, .032, .042 Core Material: Steel Winding Material: Nickel-plated Steel Winding Type: Round Wound Manufacturer Part Number: P02223 or Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Tech Specs Guitar Type: Electric Guitar Number of Sets: 1 Number of Strings: 6 Coated: No Gauges: .010, .013, .017p, .026, .036, .046 Core Material: Steel Winding Material: Nickel-plated Steel Winding Type: Round Wound Manufacturer Part Number: P02221 Which one?

If you are a newby, go with the thicker strings. Your fingers won’t fatigue as fast.
No need to mix. |

Lp's have a shorter scale and strings will feel light for their size. I'd try the 10's, I think you'll like them.

Your Ephiphone is busted my friend. Meant to be thrown out when strings wear.
The dumps require a fee to dispose. I can part it out though. I'll swing by and take it off your hands no charge... as a friend.  I'd go with thinner strings. It's a preference. _________________ I defend the 2A. US Army Combat Veteran and Paratrooper: OIF Veteran. BSM and MSM recipient. NRA Lifetime. Entertainment purposes only.

I thought the thicker strings are harder on your fingers? Depends how geeeerly your pads are now. For me, thinner strings seems to cut into my calluses more. |
