Strings - What do you use for your Strat?

[Guest]

Ernie Ball Extra Slinky. I use those on ALL my guitars. Refer to the story Billy Gibbons tells about BB King playing his guitar. Long story short, why work harder than you have to.

Strings, coated or not, don't tend to last past 1 outdoor show here in Florida. The rest of the guitar is pretty icky after a summer show outside, so I'd rather save the money and change to cheaper strings as I clean the guitar.
