I like EB 9-42 Super Slinkies. Sometimes if I have a guitar that I want stronger low end response I use 9-46 Hybrids.

But I've been using EB strings since the 70s. They last a long time for me, and I rarely break one.

I hope they never change them. :D

I like the DR tite-fit 10's! Just bought my tele not long ago and I did not like the 9's that came with it and these are my first set of 10's but When I first played it with the DR tite-fit I was sold. Probably will try some other brands sooner or later but they will be 10's! :wink:
I use 10's on all my strats!! :)

I've become a fan of the GHS David Gilmour set. The 10, 12, 16 combo feels and sounds right to me.

I still have the original Fender 9s on the AmStd I just got but I'm using Ernie Ball 10s on the Hwy1 and the two Thinlines (69 and 72 RI).

I had used D'Addarios (10s) for a long time but the guitar tech I take mine to likes EBs so that's what I've been using. To be honest, I'm not detecting any huge difference in sound or playability so I'll probably just keep using the EBs.

Like a few other people here I use nothing but Ernie Ball strings on my electric guitars. My preference right now is .11s, the regular slinkies, but occasionally I'll throw .12s on. I like heavier strings because they have a little more spank, and I don't go for playing six million notes right up the neck.

D'Addario 10's for me, although I may go to 11's soon.

Ernie Ball reg slinky 10's, I tried the Pure Blues and took them off after 5 minutes, didn't sound Fendery at all. No twang.
