What strings would you suggest for an Ibanez rg 470 ? It is for "clean " playing.
it will all be 50s rock and 60's stuff etc. I used GHS boomers on my black beauty, but they were a little bit thick for the nut, sounded good, but bass strings didn't stand out to well. want this to sound a bit claptonish. The guitar has 2 humbuckers and a single coil. Its secondhand, so don't know what strings are actually on it.
I too have used Ernie Balls for many years, but for the last year, I've been playing Thomastik Power Brights.
They are in a totally different class.

thanks for the input, never heard of the other ones, but I do have a set of ernie ball super slinky, so will try them first.what sort of tone do the tomastik give? is it brighter tone on clean than the ernie ball?
thanks,
Alf.
"what sort of tone do the tomastik give? is it brighter tone on clean than the ernie ball? "
Yeah, it's slightly brighter and more cleaner.
They also last about 4 times as long as Ernie Balls. I use 9 - 42, but they are slightly harder to bend than Super Slinky.
