Sorry if this discussion is in the wrong place. I couldn't find a category I thought this really fit.
Lately I've been having a few discussions with fellow players about strings. I've spent years chasing tones through guitars, amps, and pedals, but I've never gone on a real tone quest with strings. An ad just popped up on Facebook for me for Curt Mangan. Apparently he makes boutique strings at a bit of an upsell.
At this point, buying some strings from smaller companies like Mangan seems like an experiment worth trying. A couple of extra bucks, and I might happen upon something that really makes my guitar come alive in a new way.
But in the meantime, what guitar strings do you use? Is there a brand you swear by? Currently all my guitars are string with Gibson Vintage Reissues. I really like them as opposed to say Ernie Ball sets I've played. Is there another brand I should try?
