That’s how you find the ’best’ strings for a Les Paul.

Daddario 9.5 - 44
These strings have served me well for almost 20 yrs.

I’ve never tried them, but I will try to find some.

Discovering this Daddario set midway between .009 and .010 has given me the easy bending with firmer more defined chords and riffs on the lower strings.
They are well worth a trial run imo. Good luck with your search.

Thank you!

All Gibson Strings are made by D'Addario. Have been for around 15 years or so.
