What brand of .011's do you guys use?

Re: What brand of .011's do you guys use?

Ernie Ball Power Slinky, and sometimes I get a set or two of the Beefy Slinkys with a .22 plain G string...that sucker will make you work for those bends.
 
Re: What brand of .011's do you guys use?

Depends on the guitar. On my LP, I've got D'adario .011s. On my Artcore hollowbody, which has a much darker natural tone (made somewhat worse by the disappointing $$$ booteek pickups I stuck in it) I use DR Hi-Beams at the moment, but have used both La Bella and Dean Markely Blue Steels in the past.

On my Jazzmaster, I use .010s, so...
 
Re: What brand of .011's do you guys use?

D'Addarios 11-52 for my 24,75" guitars, 11-49 for the PRS SE EG, 11-52 flatwounds for my jazzbox.

I'm currently trying Dogal (Italian hand-made strings)11-49 roundwound core in my acoustics, but not really loving'em enough to make me switch the coated D'Addarios I used to play.

I guess there must be better strings out there, but none other than D'Addario makes me sound like ME.

HTH,

I love the GHS Nickel Rockers but my gripe is that once you get to their .011 set they don't give you a D or an A string which is any heavier than what's found in the .010 set.

Even though I use Ernie Ball Super Slinkies, on all of my other guitars, I keep a set of Power Slinky (11-48), on my Tele copy. I only use them to keep my fingers in shape, but they also have the added bonus of making the cheapo pickups actually sound pretty badass! It sounds almost as thick as my Gibsons!
