My 1970 Viper solidbody arrived about 3 months ago with a completely new setup and thus new strings.
I broke a string today and restrung the whole guitar with Fender Bullet 9's (the only set I had handy!). They sound horrible and the low E and A seem to be too big for the nut. I've been getting Elixirs recently for my Adamas, has anyone any experience of these on a Viper, plus what is the usual gauge for one? |

Actually I use the 11-52 set, they seem closer to my acoustic guitar feel than the 10's which seem to get pushed around and sound out of tune. |
