What is your favorite string gauge and what brand are they?

9-42, 9-46, or 9-48 depending on what guitar.

I custom make my sets. I use Dean Markley Flatwounds for the E, A, and D strings and Dean Markley Blue Steel for the G, B, and e strings.

I usually get GHS Boomers in 10-46

fender bullets 10-46

I've been using ernie ball slinkies ever since I got my first electric guitar. I like the hybrid slinkies and the power slinkies. The power slinkies sound better I think but they are harder to play.

9 - 42's currently using D'add's

Ernie Ball 9-42 for me.

After trying EB's , D'Add's & Fender......I prefer the Fender Super 250R's 10-46, I think they sound awesome on both my American and MIM Tele's, of course this is subjective and based on personal preference.

hybrid slinkys, 45-105

13-56 on my Mustang
11-48 on my Teles+Strat

I used to be a Slinky man, now I'm all about the Rotosounds.

I too have been using the Ernie Ball Slinkies since I began playing at the age of 15... Don't know what turned me on to them but once I bought my first set I was sold. Since then I have tried several different brands but always went back to 'em.

On my Stratocaster I have Elixir 11-49's.

High action with some neck relief, .12 Ernie Ball Strings, the "Not Even Slinky" packages. However, I prefer a D'addario .13 set with an unwound third.

Dean Markley Nickelsteel 9-42 (Lt)

ia lmost always make sure to use Ernie Ball, i use two sets of strings, the Super Slikys (9-42) and the Skinny Top Heavy Bottom Set (10 - 54)... i love both of them, personally i like thicker strings better

I like pure nickel strings. 9's or 10's on my Fenders, 10's or 11's on my shorter scale axes.
