Picato 10-42 Nickelwound Electric Guitar Strings

Picato · other

Ritchie Blackmore has used Picato 10-42 nickel wound electric guitar strings, in gauges 10, 11, 14, 26, 36, and 42, throughout his career, crediting Eric Clapton with introducing him to the British string maker, later telling interviewers simply that they're the best and that he's always used them. Picato has since released a dedicated Ritchie Blackmore signature set, the RB77, though its gauges run slightly heavier at 10, 11, 14, 26, 38, and 48 rather than matching the original 10-42 set he actually played for most of his career, making the distinction between the two sets a genuine point of accuracy for anyone trying to replicate his exact setup.
