According to him, "The strings are quite fine, and the gauge used for the guitar is completely different." However, this does not mean that the manufacturer of the string or the gauge is good, but it depends on the compatibility with the guitar, playing comfort, and tuning. It means that you are not using only one type of string depending on your usage.

Especially noticeable was the Les Paul No. 1 and the Stratocaster in 1959, which were once main, and when I got No. 1 in 1959, the tension of the strings was a little looser than other guitars, and I used to love it until then 010-046 The pitch is not stable with the gauge of, and the pitch becomes violent when picked hard, so as a countermeasure against that, I changed to a thick string to increase the tension of the string. Initially, I tried using a very thick medium gauge string like Daddario's 011-049 blues guitarist prefers, but because the string is thick, the tension of the string becomes too strong, "I sometimes feel choking when I feel bad I thought it was difficult to do so... (laughs)" and especially because the pitch string was violent on the low string side such as the 6th and 5th strings, so the treble string side was finally It is said that it has settled down to the string of 010-048 of Lavera Co., which is the same thickness and is thicker only on the bass string side.

The Stratocaster is basically a longer scale than the Les Paul, and because of its structure, the tension of the strings is stronger than the Les Paul in the normal state, so the normal 009-042, which is made of Daddario 009.5-044 And a string with a thickness between 010-046 and 010-046.

Originally, I prefer the strings made by Daddario from the old days because the strings are originally "I feel that the strings are clean and have a good hold."

As of 2019, there are very few manufacturers dealing with the gauge 010-048, and there are only a few including Labella.

It can be said that it is a special gauge with few choices because it is not in the Daddario lineup that PATA himself prefers.
