A friend just gave me a set of the new D'Addario NYXL E9th strings to try out. A few more gigs on my existing set and I'll put'em on. I'm interested in the difference between stainless and nickel. |

That's what I use but I think I must have got a faulty batch as I sound nothing like Buddy Emmons. |

That's funny, Jeff!
Interesting facts:
Paul Franklin, whose recordings helped popularize the F# to G# lever, uses a .013 (according to Jagwire).
Buddy Emmons didn't have that lever (as far as I know), but his S.I.T. signature set has a .012. _________________ -𝕓𝕆𝕓- (admin) - Robert P. Lee - Recordings - Breathe - D6th - Video |

I use an .011 since I'm raising it to G*. Seems natural to me. _________________ LeGrande II, Nash. 112, Fender Twin Tone Master, Session 400, Harlow Dobro, R.Q.Jones Dobro |

When I got my Franklin, new in 81, Paul Sr told me to use the "Nashville Gauges", which includes a .013 on the F#. |
