I have been using D'Addario 10s but they don't feel that great to me anymore... What are you using?

D'Addario 10s or Ernie Ball Slinky 10s on my Strat Pro
Lately I like the Slinkys more :)

Regards.

Thanks Mike... Why not the Fender brand strings? Is that due to the recent move of production from Mexi to US?

I think I just need to do a good setup... tweak a little more... I also just ordered about 6 different sets of 10s (including Fender) to try out...

Maybe I should try .09s!

We can't keep up as it is!

We found most players were using D'Addarios, so we switched. Makes sense.

really???!! I thought you used like super 250s. lol just replaced my first set of strings on the '64 relic (never changed the first set, the stock set, cause they sounded so damn good!) with those! crazy!

I am genuinely shocked... thought these stock strings were some super mythical magical strings with infinite mojo.... :oops: I feel stupid...

I use D'Addario 9.5-44s on all my guitars. I find they suit my old hands!

I use Elixir 10-46 or 12-52 (for vintage sound if needed)
No much personality, but they last longer which is a great point for me.

I've been using Picato RB77 in my Malmsteen Strat and will definitely be putting them in my CS Strat when it finally arrives. Hands down the best strings I've ever used. They're nowhere to be found here in America so I usually get them through stringsdirect.co.uk. Highly recommended.
