Hide incorrect submissions

This diagram from Guitar Geek shows Stevie's gear set up, complete with his GHS Nickel Rocker strings.

Rene Martinez, Stevie's guitar tech says about his strings in this *Music Radar article "...He started with a .013 and ended with a .060. They were big, yes, but that wasn't the only thing; it was the action, the height of the strings. I used to adjust the screws down at the bridge to raise the height, and I would run out of thread - I couldn't make the strings any higher."

Stevie Ray started off playing thicker strings in the beginning of his famous career, but later on in his final years he switched to a 11-58 gauge GHS string set.
