Just wondered what the most popular brand of strings is on GMC. I use Ernie Balls. What strings do you play with?

Always played with standard 0.10 d'addario's on my Ibanez, and since I have my Fender, I play with pure nickel blues DR strings 0.10.

Elixir here, other brands wear out very quickly for me.

Daddario 10-46, nice and bright, and never breaks. I buy them in 3in1 packs and change often.

Ernie Ball super slinky 9-42. Sound great and I am a tight wad with my money so 3.99 a pack is cool.

I usually get Blue Steel's whenever i can find them.
But my favourite strings of all time was a pack of Snarling Dog's 09's i had years ago.
Problem is that local stores dont carry them anymore
..i could always order them from outside the country, but i'll rather save that extra money and go for the next best thing

D'addario 0.11, it is cheap, sounds better imo, but corrodes pretty fast, thats why I wipe over and under of them quite often with a microfiber cloth, and always store my guitar on its hard case when I am not playing it. This way, string stays without corrosion two times longer then normal...

I use Ernie Ball 009 thru 042 on my guitars with a standard Eb tuning, and 009 thru 046 on my drop D tunings.
I have used EB's for a long time. I like the consistency of quality and thats really why I stuck with them.
Oh yeah..... the price is good too

Have you tried fastfret mate?
Makes regular nickel plated strings last twice as long, and stay more fresh in sound.

Ernie Ball usually, have to do some more experimenting with other brands in the future though.

I use Elixir, but I´d like to try Ernie Ball
I do like Elixir a lot (specially tone and durability). I just think they are a little bit hard to bend...

Dean Markley all the way, They have the best tone I think, And they don't break on me like most other string brands do.

D'Addario 11's and 12's for my Electrics!
I did use Dean Markley Stainless Steel strings for a while... lovely bright Tone but very brittle so I used to get a lot of breakage!
I use Martin 10's or 11's on my Acoustic instruments!!

I've started using 0.10's DR, and they are great! They sound really good, i recomend them.

D'Addario regular 10s. Feels great (when they've been played on for a few hours), sounds great, and never break.
