Which strings do you use for your Fender American Jazz V and how do you string it, through body or bridge?

Steels, I like DR High 45-125 strung through body, just because they are long enough.

What about the DR's? Longnecks or will the others string through body ok? |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Philadelphia | | | I use the stock Fenders on my 2008 Jazz V. Fender has switched to a new formulation, but I have a couple of the old sets, which will last a good while. When those run out, I'll go with DR Lo-Riders or Extra Life. I love the nickel Lo-Riders on my G&L JB, so I bet they'd rock on the Jazz V.
