Slide string set up
Kirk,
I know you use .16 on up for your slide string set up. Do you use flat wound or round wound? Straight electric or Acoustic electric strings? I am having a hard time finding those size strings to buy. Right now using .12 on up and sounds a bit thin.

I use round wound, too2tall, just normal strings, acoustic for the resonator, electric for the Strat. I normally buy an .18 separately and use the B string (which is a .16 in the sets I buy) for the E, the .18 for the B string and the rest as normal. I wind up with a bunch of .12s that rust away on the shelf.

Kirk,
When using this setup what are each strings tuned too? It it usually open tuning? Especially on the Res.

Kirk,
Thanks for the info. Just got through watching your slide DVD and it was awesome. Really accelerated the learning curve. Can't wait to get home each day and practice, practice, practice.

No, eddie, I stay in standard or drop the low E down to D (Dropped D). I never play in open tunings anymore.
