Most affordable 9-46 brands

[JUjuHound]

looking to re string some guitars, I've usually used 7's on my strats and 10's on my eps LP styles. but im looking to split the difference. plain steel but nickels are ok too.

Probably a 3 pack of Ernie Ball 9-46

 

[AdrianSD]

In Australia D'Addario EXL-125-10P are good value

No doubt...I'd snag them at that price, too.

It may have ended already

It was a few weeks ago

Yeah, there was a sale in July, I think. I bought a lot of strings during that one. I didn't know if there was another one.

I prefer Ernie Ball, and they are always at a decent price and come in 10 or 12 pks.

I love D'Addario 9 - 46s on all my 25.5" scale guitars, but if you are asking about "cheapest", I doubt they are, not that the EXLs are expensive, but I'm sure there are some generic brands out there.

The cheapest solution is probably to bulk bulk 12 packs of the house brand from justrtings.com or somewhere.

I use Boomer 9-46 and find specials on them all the time.

 

[ehdwuld]

Cheap and best don't necessarily play in the same pool

 

[GuitarStv]

Elixir are much cheaper than other brands for me to use . . . because they don't go dead sounding after a few days practice and require replacement again.

7's?! mg:

 

[jeremy]

7s work for billy gibbons, 8s for slide work. i think bb king used 8s too

 

[Chistopher]

Dick Dale used 16s

 

[jeremy]

dick dale did not do a lot of bending

he actually started with a standard fender set 13-55 or something like that, then moved up to a 14-58, then 16-60.

More tension makes tremolo picking easier, it's part of why I like em thicker on the bottom.









Strings, that is.

Jimmy Page also used 7s, Yngwie uses 8s on top but heavier on bottom like 50/52 or something.
I use 9-46 and usually buy regular Ernie Ball, lately I've been trying out the NYXL D'addarrio which I like the feel of but are a bit on the brighter, zingier side.
