The Rover 75 Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 SRV used .13 however he played his guitar, Like Hendrix, a half-step down. IMO SRV was a great player, without a doubt, however I hate his tone, always have. His tone is way, way to thin, tinny, and shrill for my tastes. He may have played with .13 but they sounded like .7 to me. Now both Beck & Gilmour have excellent tone on their Strats and Beck uses .9 and .11 as his setup, don't know what Gilmour uses.I can see that, they way he used to bend the shit out of his strings, check out any SRV live performance of his. I use .10's anything less, I will snap it. Quote
