M80 which strings

[Barth1234]

Hello all,

I’m planning on installing a M80 in my Gibson.

i’ve read that elixir strings might not work well with this pickup. Is this true?

kind regards

Elixir's work just fine. In general, I recommend using whatever strings you usually prefer for the best, unplugged sound. Then you can tweak the pole height on the M80 as-needed to get the best sound/balance from the pickup.
