MarkyMark 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 T-Keith - 3bitbob mentioned you advised him on which guitar to buy and he went and bought one - not long after I bought my first guitar, a fender strat. I've practiced with it every day since november and I'm getting better day by day - he hasn't touched his guitar for 2 weeks. tsk tsk. Anyway, i need some spare strings but cant find anywhere on the net that will tell me exactly what kind it needs. I'm looking for Fender Super Bullets as this is what it came with. Its a 2007 (I think) Mexican Strat with Maple neck. Any Ideas which gauge I need for the guitar. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14021 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Click For Fender Strings Get these in a 'regular' size as i reckon that's what a Standard strat will have as a Factory set up. These are decent strings however with fender you are often paying for the name, probably cheaper to buy in bulk from these guys too. Click for Better Strings These are slightly better strings for a strat (which is ironic), they sound better tonally and they will sustain longer than the Fenders, again it would be good to buy in bulk. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Thanks for the post. Might go for the EB's and will deffo bulk buy. The strings that are on the strat now have seen better days and the G and B strings seem to have gone very black already. I clean the neck and strings after each time I play but remember those strings weren't as shiny as the rest when I recieved the guitar. Plus I've got a problem with rattle on those same strings (although thats probably more likely to be down to me). Think I'll change them as soon as I get them.

Then buy the corresponding strings in bulk separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
