Richie Kotzen's Strings

Hide incorrect submissions

I played my Fender signature model Telecaster and signature model Stratocaster throughout the entire record. I have DiMarzio pickups in both guitars, and I’ve used D’Addario strings since I was 19 years old. The gauge is .011-.049. On my Tele, I’ve replaced the Tone knob with a series/ parallel switch. It’s pretty cool, because you can get a standard two-pickup, scooped-mid Tele sound or a louder, more midrange-heavy tone simply by flipping the switch. The Telecaster also has comfort cuts for my arm and body—kind of like a Strat—as well as a dropped-D tuner.
