Tele Style Electric
What kind of strings should I put on my Tele style electric guitar to give it a nice jazz tone?
It's a G&L ASAT Special Tribute Series guitar, practically a Tele. Well all I'm playing now is jazz on it so I'm wondering what strings to use to give it a great jazz tone, not a jazz guitar at all though. I've always has about 9s on it, fine for bending but horrible for jazz. I switched to some 11s, jazziest ones my local shop had and they're better once I got used to them but still not very good. They feel too loose and weak still now I'm used to them, they're also a bit unbalanced I swear the b came from a lighter set. So what gauge should I go to? Also it felt really bad putting the heavier set on the little skinny electric, how safe is it to put on even heavier ones? Thanks.
It should be alright to use fat strings, after all, the new thin strings have only been around for quite a short time.
I'd go really fat with the strings, with a wound 3rd string, that should give you a real vintage pre-war sound.
