Re: Favorite Strings
I consistently play Ernie Ball 9-42's. The SUPER SLINKIES.
I've only spent real time with two other brands, those being Elixir and D'Addario, and well, here I am.
The Elixir's webbing came off after a week or two, which was a huge letdown. The D'Addario's felt unlively to my finger's after comparing them with EB's. Definetely, still great strings, but I just prefer the feel and response of EB's.

I do an order about twice a year. The strings are consistently good, their customer service is top notch and I probably save at least 66% doing it this way.
I usually do an order of 25 10's and 25 11's and maybe some acoustic ones as well.
I save a ton of money and only have to worry about needing to get strings twice a year.

Re: Favorite Strings
I have to tell all of who are spending $5 a pack on strings...Snake oils will last 2-3 x's as long, for only slightly more. You'll be amazed not only at the life of the string, but the tone.
This is just one of those amazing products (to me anyhow) that is too cool not to share.

Re: Favorite Strings
I'm using Dr tite fits on my 7 string right now Custom 10-60 set, but I'm about to put in an order to juststrings and put some other brands through the paces. D'addarios are alright but they seem rather lifeless, and don't feel good. Ernie Balls are nice, good tone, nice feel, but they rust out fairly soon. GHS strings, are beautiful out of the pack but quickly lose everything about them. DR's love all of them, putting 11-50 pure blues's back on my strat and 10-46 pure blues's on my Les Paul. I need to try out some of them Snake Oils, and I've really been itching to get a set of Thomastic-Infeld's.

I've been using GHS Boomers for years. They set-up on a floyd real fast and stay in tune. In 7 years using them I have only broken a string twice while playing, an I'm a two-step-bend-and-shake-the-whammy-to-death kind of guy...
I've tried every brand I can get my hands on. GHS do it...
When I had an acoustic, I liked the Thomastik-Infeld Plectrum Bronze. Beautiful tone for ages... a bit pricy tho...
