Whoa....strings that light? That's crazy. I used to play .009-.042's, but found those to be way too light. Each to their own, though. Billy always changes it up after awhile, too, he's never afraid to go with some new stuff, even though he already likes the tried and true.

The guitar tech said that he's been with ZZ since 1995 and Billy has NEVER BROKEN A STRING. That's insane. Also, Billy hasn't used the peso since the guitar tech has been with him. I assumed that it was still the peso!

I think that I want to marry Rebecca Dirks. Hotness and a curiosity for gear. It doesn't quite get better than that.

Strings that light is crazy, especially since he's known for tuning low. That's the only thing they didn't talk about that I wish was brought up.
