What are your favorite strings?

[Liam1963]

Acoustic: Martin Marquis 12's
Electric: GHS Boomers 9's

[Mincer]

I use D'Addario EJ15 (10-47) on my electro acoustic Godin.

[Lewguitar]

D'Addario Phosphor Bronze for my acoustics

D'Addario or Ernie Ball for my electrics

I'm fussier about what goes on my acoustic guitars

DR Titefit. Stayed in tune for 10 years on a floyd rose equipped plywood kramer sitting in a soft gig bag in my storage. (not climate controlled)

Put them on, played for a couple weeks, stored it, took it back out and played it 2 months before I got tired of rusty strings. Was never out of tune more than a slight turn on the fine tuners.

Ernie Ball Ultra and Skinny Top Heavy Bottom.

7 string D'Addario 10-59.

[LLL]

In the 80's it was GHS Boomers Boomers Boomers

In the 2K's it was D'addario XLs


Nowadays it's:

electric - GHS Burnished Nickel Rockers and Optima Golds

acoustic - Optima Golds



pro tip: 24K plated gold strings never tarnish and last waaaaaaay longer than those coated monstrosities

10 or 11-52 D’Addario, Ernie Ball, SIT, GHS, or Curt Mangan. Or maybe DR.

13-56 nickel or PB on acoustic, and 11-40 or 11-41 on mandolin.

NYXLs. Those things last forever. That said, if I know I'm going to be putting the guitar in a bad spot (like outdoors in the Florida summer heat) I'll use Ernie Ball Super Slinkies. That goes for all my guitars obvs.

[Sirion]

Fender 150L (.009-.042), their pure nickel offering. I preferred the 150XL (.009-.040) when it was still available, but the difference isn't large enough for me to bother making my own sets.

[Gtrjunior]

I’ve been using Ernie Ball Slinky for as long as I can remember.
.10 for Gibson also ale and .09 for Fender scale.

Been loving the Dunlop Heavy Cores 10-48.
I keep hoping that I break a string on one of my guitars that doesn't have them so that I have a reason to change the strings.

The Scott in me, or maybe the Sicilian, or both, won't let me. At least until, other than breaking, they start to feel like sand paper.

No favorites. I use different strings on different guitars, and change brand, weight and composition as needed to serve whatever music I need to make.

I used the Dunlop Heavy Cores 10-48 for years on all my guitars up until Ernie Ball came out with the Ultra 10-48 set. Both are great. I still use the Heavy Cores occasionally. Great tension for down tuning.
