Broke my first string

[worsy]

Parisienne Walkways will have to wait. How do I tell what I need, or best to take the broken one into the muso store?

Electric. Bought the guitar in Jan, and have started learning, so the strings are original. Off to stock up on some spares later.

Strings (and spares) purchased. Am using 10s btw. All stretched and tuned and ready to go

LP or Strat ?

I used to regularly break strings on my Tele, but not broken one since I ve had my LP.

Superstrat

Superstrats would be 9s I would assume, my Jackson is 9s. If you have the name and model the companies site should have it listed. Give it a google!

As for tuning, once you've got the string on (Im sure you can see some vids on youtube that will show you), tune it, then give it a play and a wiggle, it will slip out of tune, then just repeat until it stops doing that.

I've found since switching to d'addario strings breakages are few and far between, plus the string condition is miles miles better. Always used to use ernie ball.

I used to play 9s on my superstrats but after trying some 11s I have never looked back. All of my guitars have 11s now; versatile for both heavy rhythm and lead.

RE the OP, I think most guitars come factory fitted with 10s nowadays, so I reckon that's a safe bet

Yup. as I said previously it was strung with 10s. They are D'addarios, but my local muso shop only sells ernies. I'm learning so am staying with the 10s at the moment. If/When I get more accomplished then I might invest in an LP and try something different.
