They're 54-11, I misspoke. Clean there is a slight amount of fret buzz, and they are slinky as hell, but with copious amounts of fuzz it sounds awesome. 12 or 13s might be better, but I dunno how long I'll keep it this way...the low "e" string sits above the nut slot instead of in it, but I dunno if I want to commit that guitar to that tuning yet.

This. I currently have only a stock standard strat and my tele, which is stock save for the wilkinson three barrel bridge. I strung it with 52-11, tuned to A#, and use a Black Forrest and Pharaoh Supreme. Heavy. As. Fuuuck.


I use a stock tele custom reissue with the single coil bridge and WRHB in the neck. Only ever use the bridge. Tuned to standard but.... use Black Forest and Pharaoh (coven) and it's heavy as hell. I like how it sounds over every guitar I own to the point of wanting to just play only teles forever.

when you guys say you use a black forest and pharoah, are you stacking them?

I am. Pharaoh into Black Forest for me. But sometimes I change the order.

Same. Pharaoh Supreme into Black Forest. Pharaoh can doom out on its own, but I just think it sounds better stacked for a little high end bite. It also sounds great with a Hyperion in front of it. Like, if I'm playing Funeralopolis, the intro is done with just the BF, then kick on the Pharoah when it gets heavy.
