What gauge and brand do you use on your guitar.
I use Ernie Ball 11's
Sometimes D'iaddario.

Same here.
If I get a strat I want to see how high I can go to get that SRV sound.

[^AXE^]

Holy guacamole Jester .

[NeoConMan]

d'addario 10-46

Same here, I like high nickel content and use 10's on everything I own.

On my Gibsons I use the Gibson Vintage strings, but they're kinda pricey.

What is that site Rich talked about?
Webstrings.com or something?

[^AXE^]

I think it was webstrings . They buy in bulk from the major manufacturers like GHS, Ernie Ball and D'adario

[baxter]

.9 super slinky. next next time I'm moving up to .10s

[aklein11]

after being a loyal d'addario user
a just tried .10 ernie balls

they are amazing

[myspace.com/jessenoah]

Holy guacamole Jester .

its like 10s, 9s, then 8s

[stryker59]

just my opinion but i cant stand ernie ball..

[Sancho]

I've been using Daddario since 1994.
They offer the best compromise between tone, feel and longevity for me.

Most of my guitars are tuned to Eb. I have 11-49 on my Les Pauls, and 10-46 on everything else.
Guitars in standard tuning all have 10-46.

In the eighties I used GHS Boomers. After a couple of years playing bass, I switched back to guitar again in 1993 and naturally I bought Boomers again.
Either I ran into a bad batch, or their quality had really gone downhill, but they were horrible. Went to Daddario and never looked back.

Ernie Ball 9-42s

Lemme guess . Slash uses them too ?

[PunkerJon]

My USA Gibbys are set up with Dean Markley 9s and my Custom Shops are set up with 10s. when I run out of 9s i will put 10s on my USAs.

[^AXE^]

I really have been diggin the tones I'm getting from the Dean Markley Blue Steel's .
Bot I love the feel of the Elixir , and they seem to compensate for the nut binding ... I't the coating I suppose ...

DING DING DING!
Come down and collect your prize!

[GuitarEnZo12]

D'Addario 9's... used to use Ernie Ball 10's, DR 10s, DR 11s and DR 9's.

ernie balls bend differently
like its weird, but i like it

acoustic ernie balls suck buffalo of dollar bills
but for elctric, they are the best

+1
Never tried EB acoustics, I go with D'addario for all my non-electic needs.

I'm not liking the webstrings I got...I had a pair of Elixirs on there but I replaced the high e with one from webstrings. It kinda grips onto your finger. The Elixirs are great for sliding though.
