D'addario 9's. I can't remember what I used before but when I tried them the first time it was an amazing boost to harmonics and made the RG550 sing without even trying to play it!

I have Elixir 10-52s on my only guitar now, but im gonna put D'addario 9-42s on my RG that im building.
And deadtunes, i used to use Dean Markleys, but only ever used one set because they broke really easily. Could have been a bad set though
