And I'm happy with what I use. When I'm gigging I go through one set per gig and I get my strings for $4.00 each so it's the most cost effective for me to use the best string I can get for that money and D'Addario's are it.

@AceOfHeart2012 you said "Great tone starts with great strings (D'Addario) properly installed" but what i said that elixir strings are the best in my opinion because they don't wear out like traditional strings they are coated and are sweet in tonality..... check them out for your self man trust me you'll love them

@jamiejamesbrown I don't think I said they were the best. I don't use Elixers. Not sure where you got that from.

@AceOfHeart2012 no way elixer strings are the best nano web the brightest i think

Nice info!

Also if you are leaving the coils above where the strings extends to the nut you reduce the risk of nut buzz the more coils you have. But safe to say there are a number of different schools of thought ;)

Different strokes for different folks and all, but I have a Tele that on the higher strings I sometimes wind round 5-6 times. I can't say whether it affects the tone, but it sounds good to me. Not really buying your "completely lose the tone" theory.

Cool cheers for the great advice
I sell capacitors too on the bay,and these do amazing things for the tone.
It's lots of small things that all add up.
There's a great book on pickups ,and check out how they replicate the original humbucker
At seymore Duncan .
Or build a national guitar video,see how they replicate the 30's metal in the cones.
Every bit has a tiny effect from the wood to strings,to pups,caps,electrics,even the way we play etc.
On a quest for tone.......

I've got $250 Austin Lp copy and it plays awesome when I do this, oh I also put a little pencil graphite in the grooves of the nut.
Come on children.. Brain the size of a pea?
