Blue steel. I like both their acoustic and electric sound. I use .009-.042 for standart E and Eb tunning...If i ever tune down i will go for .011 or even .012 for those inflames songs...

It kinda sucks cause now I usually buy whatever has a 7-string verson or sometime I'll get 2 of what ever seems the cheapes. I didn't like the blue steels when I tried them, I guess warsofwinter you forgot to put "don't have a favorite"

hm. I use SIT, GHS or DR.. as longs as it's .010 - .052 I'm happy. thinner makes me puke... oh and for my other guitar (stringed like a 7 without the high E) the B (or Bb in my case) is a .058

I use Ernie Ball Power Slinky (Purple), .11-.48.
But out of those listed, Blue Steel = fuckin' A.

Everyone uses strings so thick...i love the thin and tight strings they are great for frenetic speed. Does anyone here tunes to standart E tuning? It seems like a lost art and something very weird among metal players.

Hm. I use the Eb tuning for my Ibanez. my other guitar used to have a Bb tuning (like a 7 without the high e) but now I've tuned it to an open Bbsus2 to play really -HEAVY- slide.. =D it rocks!

I use standard E tuning (shock, huh?) with 0.09 d'addario strings.
It makes bending easier and it's easier to control

i definately want to get some lighter strings next time. im not liking mediums. E is a great tuning! i just sometimes come out with super lame emo songs in E. well, i think i probably do that in just about any tuning
haha. my buzz got fixed today ;P
I use mostly standard E. That´s because I play Opeth.
Thin sets like .09-.42 or .09-46 are ideal, I think.

Quite hard to say because I haven't used any of those accept D'Addario's and I think they are pretty good =)

I didn't get it.. but I guess it was not very nice of you.. whatever.. u can't plz them all.. u just have to know every single string's name and position if u consider urself a guitarist.. THEY ARE ONLY 6!! .. so don't get pissed off... get to know
1st string: E
2nd string: B
3rd string: G .. blah blah..
I was JUST being sarcastic.. thought I would mention that.. just in case..
PS: u can be happy now.. I won't post that much for about 3 weeks or something.. I just got home and I guess I'll have a lot of things to do.. c'ya all
Wars of Winter use's E tunning ,, anything else would just be insane ,,, when I think of E I think of a very clean and clear sound ,, which is true in most case's , it's easier to master sometimes and you can pick out the guitar parts unlike alot of c and d tunners ,, In Flames are perfect in C ,,, At the Gates are perfect in B ,, it just suites some bands ,, bands like us , which switch from moderately distorted to clean melodic picking riffs , have to tune to E or your wouldn't be able to pick it out or hear some of the key notes that make the riffs what they are ,,,, my other band however use's a weird tunning for the type of music we play ,, we use CGCFAD ,, and the songs sound like they are in E and are very clear ,, it really depends on the type of music you play ........ can you imagine At the Gates in E ,, hhahahah
Sometimes it may even depend on what guitar you use ,,, I play a Mocking Bird B.C Rich through a Peavey Bandit 112 and I love the sound of it in C or E ,, anything else is just not right ,,if you have the EQ'S set right you can sometimes find a very clear sound in low tunnings ,,and the right amount of volume change's the sound of the tunning greatly ,,,,,, the reason I like E so much is because I can hit the strings pretty damn hard before the guitar make's that weird slapping noise .
