What Kind Of Strings Does Everybody Use?

Hi Take a Look at stringjoy, https://www.stringjoy.com/ they are a relatively new company that really seems to care about the customer, I’ve bought a few different string sets from them found them warm punchy and responsive. I’m also using TI flats on my P Basses, Just can’t seem to find a better sound without them on there. Also tend to go to Smith strings now and then.

for strat scale I use 10-46/52 but on shorter scales like Gibson I use 11-48/52

For my electric guitar, I use the D'Addario EXL 115 (Listed on my page). They produce a really good tone and stay in tune properly for a long time. They are quite wear-resistant too. I can play them for a long time before I need to change them because they go out of tune all the time or because they're unplayable because of their wear.

On my Western guitar I'm trying out a few but I recommend the two strings listed on my page; 1. D'Addario Ej12 (80/20 Bronze) 2. Ernie Ball 2144 (Phosphor Bronze). They are both medium strings but for me, as a rather heavy player who plays Bluegrass and Country, they are really cool. The feeling of both of these strings is really good and it depends on what tone you want to achieve which strings you take. For a more detailed review of the product go see my page.

I use Dunlop Heavy Core 12-54 in E standard and Eb on my Epi Les Paul. On my Squier Mustang I use Ernie Ball 52-10 Titanium reinforced coated strings in E standard and Eb. Can't remember the exact name but they've been on for almost a month now and still sound and feel new but I'm not too keen on them. Too bright sounding for my liking. On everything else I use Daddario 11-52 and again in E standard and Eb
