ernie balls were the original steel strings that you could mix and match, what hendrix used before moving to the UK, i think they started in a mom and pops music store in california, either way for me they used to have standard sets that i liked so i didn't have to make a custom set..... the hybrids used to have a wound 3rd string that i LOVED but they stopped doing that a few years back...... i am about to start making custom GHS deals just so i can get what i want 12-54 with a wound G string


stuff it....... then bake it.......

I use DR's exclusively on both acoustic and electric. I really haven't found a better sounding string.

i love Dr strings and found they have a nice heavy sound to them and feel great and play nice... good choice but here in michigan at least in stores around jackson they cost 14 bucks a pack... so i dont buy them much

I usually use either D'addarios or EB Slinkys in .9s or .10s.

I mostly use D'addario 10's, but I often try other brands just for a change. I sometimes use Elixir's on my acoustic.

I've heard Elixir makes great acoustic strings but that their electric strings are really odd. Anyone like the electric Elixirs?

^ True, they are very expensive. I can get a 3pack of D'addarios for the same price as one pack of Elixirs. That's pretty crazy.
