what strings do usually use?

Question

for electric guitar players..wat brand of strings do usually use..and wat thicknesses too
well i used to use d'addario 010 it was average but when i got dean markley i really felt a big difference but after 2 days the last 3 strings got red..so wat other strings do u recommend??

Answer 1

I always used the extra thin strings. Once you build up calusus on your fingers, and are able to bend the strings without hurting your fingers, step it up a notch, and get one size up.

It all depends on what you are doing too.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I've been using Dean Markley for 20 years and have never had any trouble with them.I'm not sure what caused your strings to turn red,but I suggest another set.I prefer a lighter set - starting with .009.Before using Markley,I used Ernie Ball,but I used an even lighter gauge - .008 first string.
Give another try with Dean Markley and write them about your experience,they should make it right and may have an idea as to why you had a problem.

Answer 3

On electric I've recently switched to Elixir .09 - .46 coated. My standby was D'addario .09's

D'addario always prove to have the longer life of better tone.

On acoustic I do always use Elixir coateds, as they seem to have the longest life of good tone and feel for bronze strings. I put 0.11's on my acoustics.

I like GHS boomers starting @ .009 for the high E.
