I use all my strings. Heh. I am thinking of switching from Gibson .09's to Slinkys though. Gibson strings just sound too tinny when you put them on. They didn't used to be like that though. :?

I use D'Addario strings for both electric and classical guitars - Nickelplated Steel and Pro-Arte EJ-45 normal tension, respectively.

I have used Fender and D'Aquisto strings mostly up until now.

I liked the D'Aquisto a lot - but they ignored my last three emails, so I won't be using them anymore.

Before that I used Fender strings mostly, with a set from a couple of other brands when I ran out of Fenders between orders. But I started getting rusted strings in the Fender sets, so I stopped using them. The other brands didn't impress me, so I didn't buy any more of them.

Years ago, I bought my strings in bulk packs. They were pretty good, but I went to Fender strings thinking I'd get a better string and sound. Obviously, rusty strings don't give that. So, I'll probably go back to buying bulk strings. Never got not one rusty string in those bulk packs, and they sounded pretty good. (especially for the price)

As for the size - 10's, 11's, 12's and 13's, round wounds and flat wounds, depending on which guitar.

Now with D'Aquisto not replying, and Fender having rusty strings, I'll probably go with whatever is the cheapest I can find. I'm pretty disgusted with the so-called "name brand" strings. :roll:
