for me, string talk is just as annoying & terrible as buzzing.

Dave uses D'addarios, but they've been dipped and coated in a solution comprised of three parts of Carter Beauford sweat, one part boyd's man juice, one part acid, and a sprinkling of weed/dried mushrooms. But really, the tone you're looking for isnt as much his strings as it is his guitar and the amp/settings he uses.
