I always use ordinary D'addario 10s because they're cheap, they virtually never break and there's something appealing about the air tight packaging. I remember more breakage when I used EB strings back in the day, but in fairness that was probably a guitar thing more than anything.

i use whatever is cheap. rotosounds are usually pretty cheap, sound good, and last a long time.

I could never understand why so many players use and prefer D'Addario strings.
I've regreted buying them every single time. They are soulless and lose all brightness within a week and become dull wires. Tried them on the electric and the acoustic several times. Never again.

Fender strings are pretty decent, and the stainless steel http://cdn2.iofferphoto.com/img/item/18 ... -598c8.jpg are pretty acoustic.

But lately I 've become fond of the GHS Boomers. They seem to last forever and give a good bite in the sound.

I've tried Gibson strings once and seemed pretty good too. They too lasted long.

Used to use 11s but the last change was to 10s and with the new Strat coming soon equipped with 9s I might be reliving my childhood again :lol:
