Mar 31, 2011 · I have been using Gibson L-5 .012 strings on my L-4CES as this is what came on the guitar when it was new. I am having the L-4 set up and adjusted at Hoffman Guitars in MPLS MN.

Mar 13, 2009 · Gibson's flat-wound strings were called "Hi-Fi " stainless steel. The Medium 040 set was gauged .014-.058; the 040L Light gauge set was .011-.051.

Dec 1, 2017 · I recently purchased some DR guitar strings - Cool Blues or something of the sort - and these were absolute crap! I don't know why I tried these out because my experience with the DR Black Beauties was pretty poor as well. They claim this hand-wound coated string is the best, but they really aren...
