What Guitar Strings do you use?

[newbieguitarmaker]

I use ernie ball regular slinky's, but i've always wanted to try the zachary balanced string set http://zacharyguitars.com/Strings.htm

[hermanliiscool]

I use D'Addario 9s super-light gauge. I will never use anything else. They are great.

[newbieguitarmaker]

wow so many people use 9's lol, i use EB regular slinkys, I am use to bass strings so they really don't hurt my fingers. and as i said earlier i want to try those balanced string things. I'd probably go to 9's for those though

Go and buy one set of every make of strings you can find and try them all. Then you definitely will know which ones you like best :biggrin:

I use DR .009 - .042 Blues set since 5 years.

[Noodles]

Has anyone tried elixir strings? Are they worth their $14 price tag?

[RSVampire]

I use light gauge (9-whatever it is) blue steel. don't care if it's hype or whatever. They feel great and last a long time. that's all that matters to me! oh and they soudn pretty darn good!

[gitarrero]

Mostly Dean Markley .009-.042, more and more Pyramid .009-.042 and whatever is cheap for the acoustics. On my 7-strings, I have an additional D'Angelico .054 or .056.

[guitargirl]

Vinci .009 - .046 for me.

On my six (not THAT six ) I use D'addario 10-46, with a 56 on my seven.

I have been gettin' an itch to try out the Dean Markley Blue Steels.

[armadillo]

I use Dean Markley Blue Steel, custom light gauge (9-46, I think)... They last forever and they don't become dull as fast as the other ones...

[cerealk]

D'addario 9-42 and a 54 for the B-string of my UV

collect the packets, send them back and they give lots of free stuff!

11s if I tune the guitar (a charvel in this case) down a whole step then you get a huge tone.

I like Elixirs. *They cost 3x as much, but last 3 times as long. *They don't sound as bright RIGHT when you put them on - they sound like strings that are a couple days old. *But they sound like that for a few months. *They're also kinda "slippery" - you gotta feel them to understand. *Less finger noise, too.

People seem to either love 'em or hate 'em. *I love 'em.

Here they cost $25 and IMO worth every cent. *They last forever lol... and they sound great too

I use 10's because 9's feel too sloppy and thin. *Am I the only one not using 9's? *They really don't hurt once your used to them... really lol ;-)
