Re: What strings/gauges are you using?
Tele 9-42 SIT (for extra twang)
Charvel San Dimas 9-46 Hybrid SIT (because this guitar loves it)
All other 6-strings 10-46 SIT
Universe 10-58 SIT
Everything tuned to Eb, with Bb for the Uni.

.10s Ernie Ball regular slinkys.... thinking about trying elixir strings though for longer lasting new string brilliance ... Anyone have experience with these strings ? I know they are more pricey but if they are stronger and last longer I'm for sure ready to switch...

Kinda depends on the guitar - if it's fairly bright like my Strat I'll use GHS Nickel Rockers, others I use GHS Boomers - various gauges depending on tuning. Standard tuning guitars get 10-46s, open tuning guitars get 10-52s. The GHS have been the most consistently great sounding strings from pack to pack year to year that I've ever used. And yep I've tried them all including the Pyramids, Thomastiks, and Snake Oils that cost 3-5x as much.
I like 12-54 DRs on my acoustic, but rarely change them because I like the sound of old strings. I think the last time I changed them was close to 3-4 years ago, can't remember. I should start writing the date down on the pack or something. lol

Well, i am thinking of getting back from 10-48 do 10-46, but hell i am scared i wouldn't be able to tune down to drop d well with that 46 string. that's why i have 10-48 on my SG and LP in standard e tunings. i think it would be more comfortable to go 46. i have using jazz III picks for three or four months now, and today i have try use ligther picks and it just don't fell right. i have used to that higher jazz III pickups, and i won't go back. it just fell more comfortable to me now.

Open G. 14 - 11 - 17 - 25 - 32. The 14 was a spare I had in a box after a snap, as with the 25. The 14 is an acoustic string, the 25 a string for a Fender VI ( I think ). Odd, but on the tele it rips.
