Different Kind Of Strings

Post by The_more_i_see »

i have always hated the sound of the first string with distortion of my guitar, it sounded terrible, and i always thought that it was because of the mics (its a very cheap guitar). But i broke the first string yesterday, and now i replaced it and it just sounds great. I know there are different numbers for wach string, is there any way of knowing what kind of string use for a guitar?

Thanks

It's all based on comfort. I for instance use Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9 gauge.
