Members Strung_Out Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 Depends on my guitar, Fender's get Fender super bullets in .10s, Gibson's GHS boomers in .10s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 My favorite? Ernie Ball regular slinky 10's. But what I actually use are Elixer Nanoweb 10's. The EB's just don't last long enough where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alecto Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 Either GHS or Snake Oil Brand 11-50 sets on my 25.5" scale guitars. GHS 12-52 on my 24.75" guitars, and GHS 13-56 on my Godin 5th Avenue (it just sounds better). I'm trying DR Blues 11-50 on my 50's RW Strat because GHS Nickel Rockers are a PITA to find in stores.

Members BeanoBoy Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 D'adario .009s on my Fenders, .0095s on everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members humbuckerstrat Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 I used GHS Boomers LXLs (10-38 gauge) for a couple of years, but i graduated from them to D'Addario EXL 10-46 gauge on my 25.5" scale Strat-style guitars. Now i can palm-mute whereas before the low E was too light to palm mute for some reason. And on my 24 and 3/4" hollowbody I use D'Addario 11s.

Members photon9 Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 MephitBlur:Ernie Ball Slinky 9s. I use to play with 10s, but I found the switch made playing easier without any perceptible (to me) loss of tone.-----------------------------------------I agree mostly though I would argue that thicker strings have a noticeably more percussive quality. That said I use 10s bc I prefer the feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J-E-M Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 D'Addario EXL 110 (10-46). I've never broken a D'Addario string. I've tried other brands (GHS, Dean Markley, Ernie Ball...) but they're not tough enough, they can't withstand the ultimate power of my right hand.

Members kayd_mon Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 D'Addario 11s with a wound 3rd (I prefer a wound .018, which I have to buy in bulk - still D'Addario). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mygal Posted March 10, 2013 Members Share Posted March 10, 2013 There are two sets I enjoy using right now. One is the D'Addario 0.14 - 0.68 and the other is the GHS Boomers 0.11 - 0.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted March 10, 2013 Members Share Posted March 10, 2013 not hung up on brands much. I use Ernies, Daddarios, and Rogue labeled Gibsons. My gauges for standard are 11-13-17-26-36-44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BydoEmpire Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 Elixer Nanoweb 10-46. I did try Cobalts recently, same gauge, and I liked those a lot, but I'm sticking wiht Elixers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 In terms of brands, I'm all over the place. I've used all kinds, and I've never been especially loyal to any one brand.With string gauge, though, I don't stray very far from the norm. I put .010s on my Gibsons, .009s on my Fenders. I'm a bit dull that way, but that's what feels right to me. I went up a gauge with my Strats for a few years, and they felt a bit off. Never quite got the hang of them. When I went back to .009s, they felt much better. I'm staying with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
