You gotta right. I uses 09 - 042 strings on my Jem, 010 - 052 on my 7 strings.

Ernie Ball 10-46 the green package regular slinky and also sometimes Ernie Ball 11-48 power slinky. 09 super slinkys are to light for my style, best grip from 10-46 set.

D'addario XL's. they sound great and they last a hell of a lot longer than most brands. Except Elixir, but they cost far too much.

I use 9 - 42's, 11-50's and 12 - 54's

I've taken to DR Black Beauties lately. They last for ages and sound good to me. The look might not be for everybody though.

I use the Dean Markley Blue Steel strings. Very nice feel, with bright punchy tone. Size 9-42. BTW, I use them on the Fender Strat.

I've been using D'addario XL's for over ten years but when my local store ran out I tried Ernie Ball and haven't looked back. The feel is kind of refreshing and I haven't had any breaks on stage yet. For my Jem I use 010 regular slinky's and for my archtops 011's.

At first i used Dean Markly 10-52 but found the B and high E to bright and thin so i then switched to Ernie Ball Power slinkys 11-48 which were way better. then i tryed Daddarios 9-46 which were very alive and bright but then i wanted a deeper sound and heavier gauge so i went to GHS boomers 11-50 which were the flatest, deadest sounding strings i have ever heard, then i went back to daadarios this time in 11-49 which are bright and chunky. it takes time to get used to heavier gauge strings but the sound and durability is worth it!

D'Addario XL 10-46. On all of my guitars. They have this dark tone which I just love, although it's amazing tone only lasts for a week or two and it's time to change strings again.

Elixer low E,A,D and black diamond black coated G,B,E ten gauge they play AWSOMELY and they match my black and white ibanez.
