Kirk Hammett's Strings
At 6:33 from his own String Theory by Ernie Ball, he talked about what kind of guitar strings still stay in tune and not broken when he use the whammy bar. Until he takes the 3rd pack, he's like: "What is that pack? An Ernie Ball Super Slinky! YES! The Ernie Ball Super Slinky!! That's what we need!!"
In this publication from Ernie Ball's account it is proofed that Kirk is using their new set of strings.
