I've been using Dunlops in 10-46 but I just put a set of DR Tite-Fit 10-52 on the Tele, and I rather like them so far. Lots of low end.

You need to get Ceri to set the intonation on your air guitar. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Normally
D'addario XL 10's on my Strat's and SG
Earnie Ball 45's on the bass
D'addario EXP 12's for the acoustic

I actually like the "David Gilmour signature series GHS Boomers" 10's but they are quite hard to find here, and don't seem to last as long as the D'addario's.

I am having quite a bit of trouble with the virtual strings on my air guitar, they never seem to stay in tune or last very long . :lol:

The thought is always appreciated. In my case, any air amp would need to be capable of pumping quite a bit of hot air. The wife says I'm full of it. :)
