Guitar String Materials & Gauges: What Musicians Need to Know for Better Recordings

Guitar String Materials & Gauges: What Musicians Need to Know for Better Recordings

Ah yes… the moment every guitarist avoids until a string finally snaps mid-bend: string-changing season. Chris & Jody decide enough is enough—time to start the year with tone that isn’t corroded, crusty, or older than your last tax return.

They tear into the eternal war between heavy gauges (“thicc tone, thicc fingers required”) and lighter sets (“bend like butter, intonate like a drunk ferret”). They talk nickel, steel, coated strings, and that mystery set you bought on sale and instantly regretted. Want to understand how string height and intonation sabotage your recordings? This episode spills the tea.

Plus: simple recording setup tips, sneaky hidden features in studio gear, and why cleaning your strings matters almost as much as cleaning your bathroom. Almost.

And as always, Friday Finds brings gifts—some useful, some weird, all inspiring.
