konablaster what type of string end, loop or ball?

Piecomics · Jan 10, 2020

I have a 19" baritone konablaster. I need to replace the strings, and I won't be home to make sure I'm getting the right strings for them. Does anyone happen to know offhand if I should be getting the loop or ball end strings?

thanks!

Not that familiar with the Konablaster bari, but it appears to be a solidbody electric that uses steel strings, as seen in the link below. This one is a string-thru design, like a telecaster, with steel ferrules on the back to hold the strings, which should be ball end, like electric guitar strings.

thank you sir, I do not know why that didn't occur to me to just search for an image of it!

Almost certainly ball end electric guitar strings but the 19" was not as common so we might need a picture of yours to be sure.

Ball end, electric guitar strings.

For an instrument of that scale, and assuming DGBE tuning, its pretty much a short scale electric guitar lacking the bass strings.

I would get a 10 or 11 tension set and just use the DGBE strings out of it like stringing an electric guitar

FWIW, mine came string with:
DGBE tuning with " light" gauge steel strings - .011 .014 .022W .030W

Which is the middle 4 strings of "extra slinky" like this:
