I'm not sure what you mean when you say the ring in waves. Like a volume oscillation, a tremolo effect?

The note will fluctuate between too sharp or flat and back again, kinda like a wavelength. For example, when I use my electric tuner, the note will ring like this and the needle will wave back and forth between in tune and not-so-in-tune.
And thanks for the string tips. I will likely just stick with something more middle of the road. I have an overdrive pedal, so I will likely continue to use that to play grunge and alternative (the initial reason why I bought it back in the '90s). But I am also interested in clean sounds. I love the Beatles' early sound (although I do love all Beatles, I think it would be more fun for me to play the early stuff. I want to be able to wail on R&B and Chuck Berry-style rock one day.)
