Which Gauge string do you use and why?

[drewsifer]

I use 11-54 on my electric(boomers) and 13-54 on my acoustic(nanoweb baby!). I use boomers because their from MI and Elixr, because they last longer and dont corrode as much. what u got?

[Professor Riffs]

I use DR's, 11-50. I like DR's because of their full tone, and I like the feel of heavy strings....I can feel the music more. The only reason I don't go any thicker is because I bend a lot, and that would just be too much work.

i play bass more often than guitar so i love the wound third jazz rock stings i put on my paul

11-54, round wound. DR's or D'Addario; with a 13 or 14 instead of the 11. i sometimes use the high e to do drones, it's also usefull in some of the alt tunings i use.

For my Les Paul I use Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom Guitar Strings. These are 10-13-17-30-42-52 they feel pretty balanced for tuning down a step and they're not bad for bending! Or I use whatever is left over from the end of a tour my friend guitar teched.
My 12 string Alvarez gets whatever I can find thats not too heavy. Usually Martin M1700 Marquis Bronze though I should break down and try the Elixirs. Changing 12 strings is a drag.

I've had the same question for a while

I use Ernie Ball super slinky's 'cause I like to shred.

I use GHS Boomers X-light Gauge on my electrics(I hate their sound but have a huge 20 pack from them which im pretty sure ill change to different strings once I finish breaking all the strings in those packs).
I also use Adamas light gauge strings on my acoustics and Hartke x-light gauge transient bass strings on all my electric basses.

I like Regular slinky's on my electrics, and Regular slinky's on my bass. I find that they are the most durable best sounding for the price.

Boomers, and Daddario always break regardless of whether I stretch tune or not. I had a set of slinky's last 2 years once, sounded horrible at the end, but I didn't have to buy strings for 2 years.....awesome.

yea, but depending on use, you can have a set of strings on a guitar for a long time.....and all strings break, even re-enforced ball strings!
