What kind & gauge strings

[Billy The Mtn]

I've been using DR high beams 9-42's on all my axes.
Seem to hold up for the amount of gigs I've been doing.
Probably get 2 or 3 gigs on a set before they loose their edge.

I've tried DR's, Ernie Ball's but I always come back to my classics: Dean Markley's, they're the best imo.
Gauge-wise, I've went up as far as 54, I think. Nowadays, as I usually tune to Eb a set of 10-46 are way enough and comfortable. I don't like 'em bright, a bit dull actually so I don't change them very often. The EVH way I guess.

- LesPaul: EB SuperSlinky 09/42
- Ibanez Jem: D'Addario EXL120 09/42
- Steinberger: D'Addario ESXL120 Steinberger™ Super Light 9/42
- The rest: whatever. EB Superslinky most of the times

I used to use Gibson BB King strings (10-13-17-32-45-54) but it sounded too bassy and went back to the 9/42s

D'Addario 11 to 49 on my Ibanez Radius and Ibanez Artcore, both tuned one half step down (E flat). Sexkontakte - Bei uns findet Ihr Sexkontakte zu Huren mit vielen wichtigen Fickanzeigen für den Spass zu zweit. Private Kontaktanzeigen aus Deiner Stadt und http://www.datewelt.info/sex-kontakte/

usually ernie ball 9-42's.

the blue jackson is tuned to standard 440, the red charvie is .5 step down.

 

[Adwex]

Ernie Ball 10-46. I tried D'Addario recently, didn't like 'em, had trouble staying in tune.

Dean Markley Blue Steel 9-42's they come already stretched

 

[lpaholic59Don]

Damn near run out of Dean Markley LTHB 10-52's on my Strat, Zakk Wyldes GHS Boomer Signatures 10-60 , 9s are too light, and nothin beats a good solid bottom

 

[Jimib]

I started off in life using D'addario 10's moved up to 12's for a while and have now stuck with 11's in standard tuning, I get a lot nicer tone from my les paul with the heavier strings plus a bit more sustain, gorgeous

For my Schecter Ultra III, I have to say I'm a fan of Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky's myself.

 

[djonesy59]

I like using Ernie Ball Regular Slinkys for standard tuning, but I've been getting into an SRV-ish phase, so I do believe it's time for Power Slinkys tuned to Eb.

I used to hate Ernie Ball strings, but it was because they never stayed in tune on my old Les Paul. Then I got a Strat, and it was like a perfect match.

How are Dean Markleys? I've never tried them.

I Have Used Every Damm String Out There,always Come Back Home to,GHS Boomers! They Sound The Best To Me!

d'addario 10-46

 

[VirgilCaine]

Ernie Ball "greens". 10-46

 

[bobwl]

I'm still currently working through this big box of D'addario Nickel Plated Steel 10-46's... but I don't know if I'll ever make it. I'm thinking about going back to EB Skinny Top/Heavy Bottoms on my S-1.

GHS Boomers. Zakk Wylde heavy 11-70. Had to drill out the bottom peg on my M-II Delux Custom Shop to take the 70. Good thing I have a drill. And a Marshall!

I used to use the Zakk Wylde Boomers (.10-.60) on my old mockingbird... luckally I didn't have to drill it fit barely. Those things were kinda insane, but were really cool to play in Drop B or in C with. Though they aren't Zakk Wylde Boomers anymore since Zakk Wylde is endorsing Dunlop strings... they are now "Heavy Weight" Boomers... same package, same font just without Zakk Wylde's name.

Thomastik-Infelds Power Brites Regular Bottom

11-48

...more expensive but well worth the money. They last longer, and have a more balanced sound than anything I've ever tried. They're perfect for classic rock and punk. I like to use the Power Slinkys when I'm short on cash. They're not bad.

[ZoomZilla]

I just restrung my LP with some Beefy Slinky 11-54. I like them for drop d and drop c tuning. I want to try out some heavy bottom light top strings. See how those are.
