Question 1

Would these work with a les Paul special 2?

Accepted Answer

The Signatures are a hybrid of 9's & 10's. Meaning the fattest strings, the EAD's are from a 10's set & the skinniest GBE's are from the 9's. There are also brands that have 9.5's, which are across the board a little larger gauge than the 9's, yet smaller than 10's. What some folks don't realize, a guitar is set up for intonation for a certain set of gauge strings at standard E2,A2,D3,G3,B3,E4. The guitar may need, at the very least, nut slot, saddle height & intonation adjustments. Perhaps even a truss rod adjustment. As the guitar is exposed to humidity, these adjustments may need to happen anyway. It's safer to get the gauge string set that the guitar originally came with & was set up for to avoid that additional Luthier effort to set up & tune your guitar. How critical is being in tune ? Too much or little pressure from the tension of the strings might cause the neck pocket to crack ? Also may warp & twist the neck & fretboard ? Those are things even a Luthier makes an educated guess for when setting up the guitar. Proceed at your own risk. We all see a guitar, some realize that it's a precision instrument that requires maintenance and assessing from time to time. Most guitars come from the factory as set up. From there a music store Luthier might tweak it for the next set of strings that goes on it the same day it was bought. Strings are one of several aspects of a guitar that affect it's playability & tone.

Question 2

Do these have the silk wrap at the ball end? thanks.

Accepted Answer

Yes they are silk wrapped and approved by LesPaul

Question 3

could these be used on any other guitar?

Accepted Answer

Of course. Guitar strings are made for their sound, and rarely for a specific guitar. I also use Martin, Ernie Ball and Fender strings on many of my guitars and I’m not sure which guitar I put the Gibson strings on.

Question 4

Is the G string a wound string or a wire string?...

Accepted Answer

The G string is a wire string. It is not a wound string.
