What brand of guitar strings do you use?

[colonel kurtz]

ernie balls, all the way

i've tried several others, and just couldn't get into them...either they broke rrrrrrrrrrreally quick, like within a day, or they didn't "feel" right

 

[JMarz]

Elixir .10's or DR black beauty .10's

 

[Deofig]

I've been using GHS Boomers for a long time now. Used to put 10-52's on my guitar, now I use 10-60's.

I've tried other brands, but GHS is the only brand I've been able to get 10-60's with.

Elixir Nanowebs, 010-046's and a 056 B for the seven (27" scale), 010-052's for sixers. Also used to use 010-052's and a 068 back when I was using a 25.5" seven, and later when I was using a 27" seven and tuning to A.

I really wish Elixir would start to make a 060 guitar string, the 056 is a bit too loose.

Dean Markley.

I have to replace them because they're getting dirty, and not because they are broken

Makes no difference to me at all. D'addarios feel a bit greasy to me when they're new, but other than that I don't notice any difference in tone, tuning or anything else. In 7 years of playing I've only ever broken 2 strings, so that's not an issue.

The guitarists in my band claim they prefer one brand over another - if I tell them my guitar has their brand on, they love them; if I say they're something else they hate them, regardless of what strings they actually are.

[greyskull]

D'addario. 11-49

 

[Ermz]

D'addario 9 to 46 and 10 to 52 (depending on E or Eb tuning)

 

[BrettT]

I always end up getting daddario strings for all my guitars...ghs boomers being a alternative to me

This.

 

[bibz]

Ernie Balls all the way. Coated Slinky's rock too, elixirs weren't bad. Acoustic I'd go Elixirs all the way.

All the way!!

 

[Force666]

D'Addario 4 life. 10-46 Eflat

 

[blackbird]

Elixir

 

[Airborne]

D'Addario.

 

[korpse pop]

Electro Harmonix. Daddario have no tone (or lose it early). I also like Dean Markley. GHS sound kinda bad too, there's something weird in their mids

i use custom made pyrmaid strings, they make 8 string customs, they are 11 Euro per package.

.084 - .008 << they sound very pristine and clear

 

[Fox Mulder]

D'Addario 10-46 (standard D), but I feel like changing.

Jesus christ that's a big range - what tuning do you play in?
