Ok guys... we've all heard this before, but what string brand do you like and why? I find so many people use Ernie Ball or D'Addario... but the reason?

Re: Strings... again!
I used to use only ernie ball, but I switch to dean markley blue steels cause they last a long time, but they didnt last long enough, so now I dont know what to go to, but I do like the 52-11 gauge. perfect for blues or country. You can still get the little microtonal bends for country, but the huge bends for blues.

Re: Strings... again!
I use a few different strings for different applications.
EBs are my "go to" strings on strats, bright and snappy
I tried some Everlys that were on sale, and they're nice strings ... I noticed they had those at Seymour's factory, too.
I use D'Addario on my acoustics, and pure nickel strings on Les Pauls and similar short scaled guitars.
It's really a matter of personal taste.

I'm sold on DR Tite Fits. The tone is great and lasts a good while for me, and I don't pop them as much as others.

Re: Strings... again!
DAddarios just because most of the guitarists I've played with have used them and they feel and sound pretty good. OK, I've only tried a couple sets over these first couple months of playing but why mess with a good thing.

Usually D'Addario's, used to be 10's but about to switch to 11's, they seem to be fairly regular strings, don't seem to break many (if any), fairly cheap too...

I like GHS Super steels on my Gibby SG, but i have to find another brand now, they don't make 011 :evil:
On acoustics i love Ernie Balls Earthwood bronze "Light gauge" 011-052.
For my bass i just tried a pack of GHS Pressurewound strings, there egg shaped. Really good strings! I put them on like a month again, they still sound like it was there first day at work!
Next time i will try GHS Contact core strings, just to see who's the man
