What strings do you use?

EB or D'Addarios 9s on Fenders, 10s on my 335/PRS McCarty. Elixir Nanoweb 13s on my acoustics.

Started on Ernie ball super slinky's (9's)
And went to slinkies (10's) a couple of years later and still use them 20 years down the line.

after a lot of searching i've settled on D'Addario 12-60 and tuned to C

I'm now looking for to go thicker for my second guitar as that will be tuned to B.

Dean Markleys. Currently in transition from 10's-9's

octatonic

Std tuning Fender scale: 9-46

Std Tuning Gibson/PRS/Martin scale: 10-46

Drop tunings: Usually 10-52 or 11-56

Roland

10-52s on the McCarty and Les Paul.  11-52s on the Parker, even though it has a longer scale length I like its sound better with the higher tension

Forum has come of age, there's now a string thread.
I usually use an E, an A, a D, a G, a B and another E. Thanks Carol.

daveww

It's always Elixirs, I'll use nothing else. Gauge-wise I go for 9-46 on pretty much everything.

On the Jazzmaster I usually go for 10-46. Might try 10-52.

I think I've got 10s on the acoustic, might try 11s.

10-46 in standard.

11-50 in drop C on my PRS, just strung up my Les Paul with 11-52s for drop C and they feel ok.

Currently have a set of 13s on my acoustic tuned to D standard. I was using 12s in standard previously.

I use Daddario strings on everything these days. I feel they have the best price/tone/life ratio.

Pink ones at the minute.

I don't use strings. Nobody told me that you needed to.

Generally 11-48 or 50 on the electrics, regardless of scale length. 13-56 D'Addario half rounds on my jazz archtop.

Misty

D'Addario EXL110 10-46 on all my electrics. 

Elixir 80/20 Nanoweb or D'Addario EJ16 12-53  on my acoustics. 

When I did a lot of live acoustic work I went down to 11's for a while.

Like @Bucket, 9-46 Elixirs here. A lot of people find them too flappy on my guitar (I play in Eb/drop-C#), but they feel just right to me.

Working my way through  D'addario 10-46's at the moment but I buy any decent brand that is on offer at the time.
