^^^ i love DMs but the LTHB is too thin for me. (thats the .10 to .5 blue steel set or whatever right?)
They dont sell single Blue Steels from what ive seen :/
I use .012 .016 .021 .032 .044 .056 or sometimes a .06 on the bottom for even thicker low end. Its a custom set and none of their sets match up very well unless i buy like 2-3 sets to steal individual strings from. 3/26/2008 7:47:16 AM |

In high school, I made a custom electric guitar that I designed myself. Since then, I have been working on my guitars as well as friend's guitars. I made a new pickguard for my washburn and put dual humbuckers in which replaced the three single coil pickups. Also, I my best friend is a luthier, so any question I would have could be answered by him. Let me know what you got. 3/31/2008 5:42:23 PM |
