Daron Malakian's Strings

Hide incorrect submissions

Malakian’s string gauges have changed accordingly: “In the early days of System I used very heavy-gauge strings. But for this album I went to .50 or .48 sets. I’ve used Ernie Ball strings ever since I was about 12 years old, because that’s what they sold at the local record store when I was a kid.”

This is his Ernie Ball String Theory interview. At 4:14 in the video, Daron says, "I used to play Slinky, but now I mainly play the- was it the heavy top- light bottom, or the heavy bottom -light top? Haha, it's orange, hehehe! That set. That's the one I play." Later on, the video also shows a pack of these strings next to some System of a Down Picks.
