What kind of strings would you guys suggest I put on my starter? I've had it for a few months and have yet to restring the damn thing. I think its a little overdue... also, I just don't know the different tonal properties that different types of strings may have, if anybody could shed some light here it'd be much appreciated.

JD, get the Lloyd Green J-LG-E9 set from the Forum. This set has a .022 wound 6th string which is supposed to reduce percieved cabinet drop. You can't go wrong with Jagwire or Lloyd Green.

| JD, I'd click on the strings link up at the top of the page or here. There's a special set listed just for the "Starter". |

So what would be the difference between the nickel and stainless? just preference?

I'd use whatever set Carter recommends, particularly if you are a relatively new player. Generally, the mfg. knows what works best on their guitar.
Here is a recent thread about strings that you may find helpful. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=134983&highlight=strings
Differences in the SS and Nickel alloys include a brighter sound for the SS. Also SS strings require less changer travel generally. |
