flyingarmadillo Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Experiment until you find what you like. I've got Super Slinkys on my Studio, but that doesn't mean they'll work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 May as well ask what brand of butter on your roll.... Here's what you'll get: A certain percentage use Ernie Ball Super Slinkys A certain percentage use D'Addario A certain Percentage use Elixers A certain percentage will use something else.... Fender bullets, Gibson, etc. Use what you like the best. I've tried a LOT of strings and tend to use Martin on my acoustics, D'Addario on my electrics and Elixer on my bass. Still not sure what I'm gonna use on my mandolin or dulcimer :) Good hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopssorryy Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Super Slinky's are a great place to start, they are a quality string that many people use and are happy with. After a run with those strings, buy a different brand and see how you like them, and just keep doing so until you find a brand that you really like. I use the Dean Markley Jimi Hendrix NPS Light strings, found them after about 6 different trial runs of other stings. Good luck and happy playing!

ChanMan Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 ^^^^^^ i think every guitarist does this at some point, until they find the strings they like the best :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 ChanMan nails it for you..............Do you prefer Blonds, Redheads, or, ................????? On my electrics, I use Earnie Balls, and I have for over 30 years...Until I chose that brand, I tried others........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Redheads Every day of the week. I use GHS Boomers, I was actually quite pleasantly surprised when I first tried them as I hadn't heard of them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
