D'Addario 010 - 046 for ALL my guitars. Just because a heap of them is laying around at my music room.
My guitar playing is poor! With thinner strings it's even worse! And thicker strings are made for pasture fences! :lol:

D'Addario 09-42 on my Mats Skylark 2596 solidbody. Been using D'Addarios for 25 years now, have no issues with them. If anyone sees any reason why I should be using something else, let me know!

LOL i did use D'adarrios, but i tend to play with a heavy hand, and i kept popping strings every other month, since the switch to EB super slinkies, i went a year and a half (i know.... Guitar abuse.... So sue me) on the same set of super slinkies.......

I bought a set of the regular slinkies (10-46 iirc) for the conrad, as i want this sucker mellow, and find the extra lights to be a hair twangy...LOL

On electrics (all solidbody) what ever is cheapest in the 10-46 range. On bass (my main instrument) Boomers medium roundwound. I like the sound of Rotosounds better but I break them too often.
