Guitarsists: What kind of strings do you use?

[Rock Hydra]

The place where I normally get my strings from usually didn't have the strings I usuall get in stock. (GHS Low boomers, 11-53). I'm in the middle of changin' my strings and wondered, what type of strings do the AT guitarists use? (Since the strings I had were getting old, I'm putting Earnie Ball Skinny Top, Heavy Bottom strings on. 10-52)

I know restringing is a pain, but if you're in an experimental mood try some flatwound jazz strings... they're NUTS! Lots of fun to play around on...

 

[Jpark]

strings from webstrings.com 11-56

Flat wound = no pick sliding :thumbsdown:

usually dean markley blue steel 11s

right now i'm using ernie balls because they didn't have any DM's and i don't like d'addarios.

DR hi-beams are nice too.

Those are nice strings, i use the 10s rather than 11s though

[Nutdotnet]

Martin SP

 

[Platypus]

GHS Guitar Boomers 9-42
Ernie Ball Super Slinkees 9-42 (these suck, but I have a bunch of them)

 

[silverpig]

Elixir Nanoweb 11s I do believe.

 

[Fritzo]

Ernie Ball Super Slinky's (.009 gauge) electric

Martin phosphor bronze acoustic light gauge

I might move up to medium gauge if I need to play loud on acoustic. That happens like once a year though.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Elixir for my Acoustics

Dean Markley for my electrics

I've tried nearly every kind and don't have a preference one way or another.

 

[Noema]

Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkies. I can't play if the high 'E' string is anything lower than '10.

I sometimes also get a wound 'g' string. I love how chords sound with that.

 

[bleeb]

Elixirs when they are on sale... otherwise D'addario lights.

 

[Cobalt]

Super Slinkies.

 

[Raincity]

Super Bullets
