Which strings do you use?

Chris · 03-20-2007, 10:20 PM

Electric: Blue Steel 10/11's for as long as I can remember. Gotta be at least ten years.

Acoustic: Elixir Nano 12's.

Ernie Ball 9-42 with a .58( for the low B when I got into 7 strings last year) for about 3 years.
Recently Ive taken a liking to elixirs, Ive had on my Ibby for about 3 weeks now, shredded the hell out of em, and they still feel brand new and sound great

D-EJ915 · 03-20-2007, 10:28 PM

only one I really stay true to is my baritone

Ernie Ball 14-64 gauge

on the 7, D'ad 10-59, EB 11-58 + 64 low string on both, or not...right now it's 10-64

on the V EB 12-64, 11-58

OzzyC · 03-20-2007, 10:31 PM

Daddario 9-46 + 59 or 60 B standard

Ken · 03-20-2007, 10:38 PM

Ernie Ball .009-.052

GHS Boomers....010 set. Though I'd like to try out the Progressives and the Nickel Rockers. Just to experiment for experimenting's sake.

BigM555 · 03-20-2007, 10:47 PM

GHS Boomers 10-46 (GBL) and snag some bulk 65's for Low B when I need em.

Used to use the custom lights but I've found the 10 (vs 9) for a high E has much more tone.

Might move to the GBTNT 10-52 if I can find them. I like a fatter bottom end.

Played seemingly every other string over the years and Boomers are the only ones I don't shred in like 20 minutes. Never really thought I played that hard but apparently I do.

Oh yeah, on my Taylor acoustic I've still got a couple sets of the Sabine Nitrostasis mediums. Really good hardy strings that they don't make any more. I contacted Sabine recently and their CS Manager suggested D'addario EXP's so I might give those a try.

I used to only use Ernie Ball strings until I realized that they sound good for about 2 weeks, then they're dead.

Now I use DR's, they last so much longer, plus sound and feel great.
10-46 for standard with an SIT .58 for the low B

Hellraizer · 03-20-2007, 11:16 PM

Custom DR .10-.60 Black Beauties
I love these strings they last for ever and they look awesome on my black RG7620

Mostly Ernie Ball 10's.
