DGT Strings

[Monahan]

Since I'm in the market, considering the the DGT, I noticed the DGT ships with 11's which it got me wondering:

How many DGT owners here have stuck with the 11's?

I'm usually a 10's guy, but considering 9's since watching Rick Beato's "Does Size Matter?" video...

Anyway, throwing it out there as a distraction from surfing all the PRS Signature Dealer websites, which I'll return to after dinner

Thanks again!

I Stuck With 11's.

 

[ViperDoc]

So did I. They sound awesome. Elevens on a trem are easy to get used to.

 

[alantig]

I stuck with them. They don't feel like 11s.

 

[Mike Duncan]

11s are all you need.

 

[bodia]

I agree, they don't feel like 11s. But, I still went to 9s on mine.

FWIW, I know that DG himself plays with 10.5s

 

[veinbuster]

I keep 11s on my DGT, one HB and my Rosewood Santana.
Usually use 10s.

They don't feel like 11's, but I still always put 's on my DGTs

 

[Whackmaster]

I was a little apprehensive at first, but now I don't notice a difference between the 11's and the 10's on all my other guitars.

 

[John Price]

Switched my DGT to 10's

 

[El Fenix]

FWIW, I know that DG himself plays with 10.5s

I did the same after David said that. D'addario I believe.

WDYM they don't feel like 11's?

 

[Prs Mods too]

Doesn't feel like 11s on mine either, probably because they're 7s...

Sweet! You must have a light touch, eh?

It's mandatory due to an unfortunate wrist injury. Used to play 10s.

11s on the DGT feel like 10s on my other guitars. I don't know if it's the frets or what, but they just feel lighter.

11s on the DGT feel like 10s on my other guitars. I don't know if it's the frets or what, but they just feel lighter.

It's the scale, and the fact that the bridge is floating.

I use 11's on my DGT (25") and Bigsby'ed Gretsch (24.75"), I use 10's on my strat and tele (25.5", and the tele of course has no tremolo)

The 11’s on my DGT were just to stiff for the bending and vibrato style I have and when bending up to a note and then above to the next whole note the intonation has got to be spot on…. Went to 10’s or 9.5’s, depending on the brand of string
