Strings for Yamaha Pacifica

[pingu]

I normally play TI flats on a 24.75 scale jazz box

I've got hold of a Strat style Yamaha 25.5 scale

Any suggestions for some nickel flat wounds
that I can do a few bends on

maybe TI jazz flats in 11 or 12 gauge ?
Something else ....

I want nickel and flat I wanna play some jazz on it too
I'm quite heavy handed ....

Thanks all

You can setup even the heaviest flatwounds on a solidbody and its neck if that's what you're asking; just find what you like. Though I'm not into flats, I play .013 - .054 Rotosound roundwounds in standard tuning on all my solidbodies. Rotosound Top Tape flatwounds are fine strings as well, they only come in .012 - .052, so maybe give it a try if that size suits you.

I use .09's on my solid body guitars. I used to have .12's but the heavier gauges are too boomy and muddy on the low notes.

I use Pyramid Gold 11-48 flatwound strings on two solid bodies.
25 1/2 scale length.

I don't like amps that do that to thick low strings.

I found myself looking at a Pacifica PAC612VIIX guitar yesterday. I noticed the tuners were Grover Locking tuners. Did you settle on a set of strings? On most of my guitars I have the TI JS112 Swing Flatwound set. (I don't know if those strings can be used with locking tuners)

I put TI flat 12's on my Pacifica
It's a low end Pacifica and doesn't have locking tuners ....I

BTW still find it too bright for me
and I can't play it in tune , so it has to go ....

Do you the think the vibrato system the reason for the tuning problem? I was also considering one of the PAC611 guitars with a Hard tail bridge.

no , i blocked the trem
I think it’s just me , i can’t play a
lot of guitars in tune !

i seem to push and pull the strings
out of tune when playing jazz type chord grips ….

when i found i could play my ibanez af120 with TI swings 13 in tune
I was in heaven ….

same with my new AF2000
thank God
