stretchy strings...?


i was reading some floyd set up guide on the net and the guy who wrote it said ernie ball slinky's are bad strings for floyd rose style guitars? i use ernie ball slinky's. he said they are too elastric and stretch too much and therefore, the bridge won't stay level.

i'm pretty sure this ain't correct. i mean on the back of the packs of strings it has steve vai at the top of the list of endorsers and we all know he's one of the most violent whammy rapists out there.

BS?

Whoever told you that EB strings are bad for guitars with floating tremolos is full of it. They are great for tremolos.

If you like them then yes. String choice is entirely personal preference.
