re: Got a new guitar recently. Question on strings size and coated/not coated

Recently I've played 11s on 7 strings (and a .68) I usually use EMG 81/85. I change strings every few days so coated or non coated doesnt really matter to me..and never has tbh. But..others may disagree

(Sometimes I'm using .012, .016, .020, .034, .046, .060, .074)

If you plan on recording, change your strings often. That cant be stressed enough.
