irg82 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I don't really like 9's. I usually use 10's or 11's. For brands, D'Addario. (<- Did I spell that right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do use D'Addario on my acoustic. I have Ernie Ball Earthwoods or something like that on my acoustic. Jimmy used those too. He also used Ernie Ball 12-strings.

RjK Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 D'addario 9's. D'Addario 11's for me, I would like to play a lighter string gauge but I pick really aggressive and I also use a 2.0 mm jazz type pic so for those reasons I play a thicker gauge. My Tele is set up for slide work so it is strung with 13's and the action is set higher than my Lesters. On the acoustic I use D"Addario phosphor bronze .012, .016, .024, .032, .042, .053. Not the heaviest set but again the lightest gauge I can get away with. RjK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trashbag Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 DR 9's. Ernie Ball strings break too easily for my tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I don't really like 9's. I usually use 10's or 11's. Yeah, I usually get Ernie Ball .10s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ma'at Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 D'addario or Super Slinky usually around about 16 gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evster2012 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I've used Super Slinkys (sized 9-42) since I was a teen. I haven't broken a string in years. On some of my guitars, the strings are damned near a year old and they take whatever abuse I hurl at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJD Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Either Elixer 10's (nano web) or D'Darrio 10's. Ground Wounds on my bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On some of my guitars, the strings are damned near a year old and they take whatever abuse I hurl at them. In my last band I did almost 2 years of rehearsals and gigs on the same set of ernie ball's...never even bothered to carry a backup guitar or a pack of strings(I had about a dozen sets at home...lol whenever I'd go to my favorite music shop to buy picks(ironically I go thru those like crazy) they'd throw in a free pack of strings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveboy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I used to use Ernie Balls, but they kept breaking and they were too expensive to keep buying. so now I use D'Addario 11's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know what the set that used to be on my Granddad's classical were, they must have been on that guitar for about 20 years and they were in in brilliant condition, considering.

hold_no_quarter Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Super Slinkys are the shit. They're pretty cheap and I love the way they feel. But wait...did Page seriously use them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 On my classical I play 'ZAYA-RUSO' strings. $2 a set and they sound as good as any expensive brand I've tried. They're made in the Ukraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
