Q: Hi Misha, what string gauge would you recommend for a 26.5" 7-string in drop Ab tuning? Specifically on the low Ab. Have you been able to achieve it with non custom sets? Otherwise, any recommendation for string brand? (I'm an EXL/NYXL fan myself). A: I'm currently using a 10-52 + 64 Daddario NYXL set and loving it! That's what we used on PIII as well!

At 0:57 Rabea starts talking about the NYXL strings. Rabea is very positive about the strings. I don't know what gauge he uses now because he uses a hybrid set.

5:40 "I currently also sue the D'Addario NYXL strings and they last longer too, I can go five shows without changing them, maybe more, I just haven't tried not changing them for more than five shows."

Later in the interview Ian was asked about what guitar strings he uses, He explains that on The "Afraid of Heights" album and tour he has been using and really enjoying the D'Addario NYXL Nickel Wound Light Top / Heavy Bottom Electric Guitar Strings (10-52), and that he did use Dean Markley (10-52) guitar strings but he was looking for strings more brighter in tone and guitar strings that last much longer.

The best strings I have ever used.

I tried a set when they were first released and I was hooked immediately. The clarity is unbelievable and they last longer than any set of strings I have ever used. I refuse to use the other strings on the market. They are incredibly inferior to the NYXL sets.

I will give him a listen for sure. I like all kinds of music. I mostly play Rock and Metal but thats just because I feel like it challenges me more as a player and I dont really have a formal music background. I love listening to a lot of the classically educated guys and blues and jazz players.

Best Strings I've ever used.

The nyxl's play good out the packet. they feel almost lived in already. They hold their tunings well and bend like crazy. its stated that these ones last longer and I'm yet to see one break. I'm going to be using them across all my instruments.

NYXL are those magic strings that every metal guitarist needs.

Stable, bright, last longer than just about anything else, they may be expensive but they don't require replacing as much eighter. I'm a big fan of these.

Great tone

These are very good and last for a long time, barely any break in period. Sound good the second you put them on, rarely go out of tune

Great Strings

Best strings I've ever played. I've tried many different brands and many different gauges, but for standard or drop D, nothing else comes close.

These are some really great strings. They've beaten all other strings I like. However, they aren't cheap. If I had my way I'd use D'addario for all my string needs. But I can't afford it. I love these strings. But my wallet doesn't.
