Interesting stuff, I think maybe with my guitar the strings that didn't work so well on others just might be the right one for this. It was $1600 back in the 90s which is like $3000 these days, so not the starter guitar or "lower models" I'm used to. It really has surprised me. I always hated floating bridges after a while besides the Wolfgang bc of the special D-Tuna bridge. I should have emailed the guy I bought it from to see what was on it, because those were perfect in every way, easy to play, even in regular tuning. Maybe they were Slinkies. I did like the way those played and sounded when I had my first electric guitar (with bad tuners and el cheapo floating bridge).
