Dave strings.....Incorrect?

Unread post by somedevil8 » Fri May 07, 2004 10:54 am

This sight says Dave uses EXP15 extra lights. If you're an avid reader of Guitar World Acoustic, there's an add for D'Addario EXP with Dave on it. According to the add, it says he uses EXP16's which are lights.
IM CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suppose it does matter to some extent, since this author of the post wants to know.

I wish I could help. It might be possible he has an agreement with Taylor and D'Adarrio.

He has several guitars. He probably uses several types/brands of strings for different sounds.

According to Dave's guitar tech, dave uses the D'Addario Light's, and has switched to the EXP version of them since they came out.

i wasn't looking for an argument...
Really, how much difference does it make? Like 'Ricky the Pilot' said, he's probably got different strings on all his guitars. So what is one gauge difference between 2 different sites gonna even matter?
For all we know, he could be using elixers....
So i'll say it again:

Does it REALLY matter?

And don't call me a **** , little boy.

Just go to http://www.daddario.com, in the artist acoustic series they list the DM strings. Thet are at least the one Dave is "officially" using.
