never bought anythin g other than GHS and ernie balls

Re: what string gauge do you use..
 

i find ernie balls are to rubber band like for my playing........

Re: what string gauge do you use..
 

yeah they do tend to strech quite a bit compared to others, but i prefer them once they settle down, but i also leave my strings on until they are rusty as hell and ready to snap lol

Slinky 10's - so very nice. :w:

Re: what string gauge do you use..
 

Generally:

Electric 25.5" scale: 9's
Electric 24.75" scale: 10's
Acoustic: 11's

That said, I can never leave well enough alone and am always trying out dif strings and gauges. Right now I have 11's on my fav electric and 12's on the acoustic. I'm sure I'll cycle back soon though and then the insanity will start over again.

Re: what string gauge do you use..
 

9s on my Jay Turser
10s on my Agile AL
13s on my acoustic

Re: what string gauge do you use..
 

I use 10's, gotta be DR Hi Beams though, if my fingers touch any other string brand they'll rot off:) :w:

Re: what string gauge do you use..
 

11's if available, otherwise 10's.

Brand doesn't really matter, or at least I don't pay attention.

I have 9s in my Ibanez right now and I hate them. That used to be all I used until I started playing around with tunings, now they're too flabby for my tastes. Someday I'll get some 10s or 11s in there and tune it to D standard instead, but for now I guess it'll just stay at Standard tuning.

My Faded SG has Hybrid Slinkies, actually pretty cool, not too heavy in Standard and not too light in Drop C.

My Strat has Power Slinkies. I really like them, but I think there's too much tension on the neck so I tuned it down lower, it was at Drop C! and now it's just been sitting there unplayed for a few months cause I'm afraid I'm gonna screw up the neck and I'm too lazy to adjust the truss rod lol.

My other SG has... nothing! It's being repainted.

I like the GHS Zakk Wylde set the best though, 10s on the bottom string is nice for soloing, then as you go up they get heavier than normal.

i used d'arrdio or how ever you spell that and in 10's, but im wanting to get the ones that sound darker cause im doing teh BR00TALZ
