Mark Simpkin Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hi All, I am currently using D'Addario EXL110 10 to 46 strings on my ES355 with Bigsby. If you have any suggestion on a better string to use, I'd be keen to hear from you. regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the write-ups on their site. The things the hype, IME,, is pretty much right on the money. more touch responsive, w/more output. The down side is they do feel different, and it takes a few hours of playing for that feel thing to subside. But they are a great string product for an electric Guitar. MSteeles another EB product to scope out, they are similar to cobalts, but they feel more like nickel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayville Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 For what it's worth, when I moved away from D'Addarios on my CS-356 about five years ago I eventually settled on DR Pure Blues 10-46s after a few experiments and have never looked back. They seem warmer and less 'brittle' sounding in that guitar, and seem to create a richer, more 'round' and full sound. But that sounds lvague, even to me. Kind of depends on what you're looking for, what direction you want to take your guitar's sound... but if you're just looking for a change as I was, I liked my results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drog Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Thomastik - Sliders 10-48. Fantastic strings! Edited October 23, 2018 by Drog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Another vote for DR Pure Blues here. Best strings I've used TBH, though a bit more to pay. Worth trying once anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I've used Ernie Ball since I have started playing at 8 years old in 2000. No issues. Tried a lot of different strings and I've always came back to them. I also really like Gibson and Martin strings, too. Rotosounds are also good, but I really love them for bass.

merciful-evans Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Is this a double post? I was sure I had replied to this. I use EB 10-46 but am using Polywebs more now. They last longer and I dont enjoy changing strings. Paradigms are my very favourite strings but are expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbringdarukusx Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I use fender bullets. Great for top wrapped tail pieces. No sharp parts and no need for the extra ball. Now I use bullets on everything 9s and 10s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
