I was given a trial set of Curt Mangan strings last week and I figured that I would give them a try although I really really really love my Gibson Vintage Reissue strings. They were pretty good strings but felt completely different from what I was used to...since I was taking them off anyway I thought I would try a little shootout of the Mangans, D'Addario and finally the Gibson Vintage reissue....

I used my Suhr Classic, 1971 Deluxe Reverb with a Shure Beta 57 mic into ProTools, with no processing at all. The first bit I go through each pickup combination playing some open chords and an AC/DC lick, progress in "Lenny" by SRV, "Le Freak" by Chic and finally some "Wind Cries Mary" by Jimi Hendrix....the amp needs a retubing but at least you can hear each set of strings on the same rig, same music and with no other stuff going on....
