D'Addario NYXL....
Long lasting, bright sounding. I used EXLs for ages, then switched to ernie Balls, and have used their cobalt series (better). Ive also used Elixiers but the NYXLs are the best Ive tried. Got to be 10s though whatever the strings.
Sorry, let me rephrase that. Do all brands make their own strings that are different to other brands.
Whenever there's a discussion about strings it usually comes down to the brand rather than any "type".
Best strings Ive ever used.
That’s on a G&L ASAT.
I know I have a lot of iron in my bloodstream but these were like I suddenly developed magnetic fingers. Nasty.
These days it's GHS boomers on everything. 10-48s on the strat/tele. 10.5-50 on the Les/Epi dot.
I buy direct. Shipping is a flat rate of $16 USD. In fact, I just placed an order a few days ago as I wanted some lap steel strings, too. Delivery times are a bit variable.
Looking at my order history in my emails, the last set I ordered, it took about 4-5 weeks for them to be dispatched after I placed the order, and the two orders before that it was about 3 weeks each from when I placed the order to them shipping.
Luckily, the strings last forever with the amount I play—and I'm not hard on strings anyway—so I place an order for 3 or 4 sets once a year, and I'm good.
I think all this changing strings every couple of weeks is a fairly modern phenomenon. People used to change strings when they broke.
I remember asking my dad what strings he used on his guitar when he was younger. He said he didn't know they were on it when he got it
