Guitarists of the Fediverse, what’s your favorite guitar strings, gauge and why? I’ve used most recently Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 10-46. I like a slightly heavier gauge. Why I chose Ernie Ball…? Someone recommended them probably. I’m easily influenced. I may just get them again.

@puffer

i am tending towards d'addario for electrics. for non-jazz boxes, i tend to do EXLs, .010-046 or 050. i've been playing with the balanced tension guage but i'm not totally sold on them.

for hollow body/jazz, i like the half rounds (EHR) in 11-49.

if you like a bit heavier gauge, give EXL115BT set a shot.

@paul_ipv6 Ta. Historically I’ve always defaulted to D’addario but then wonder if there’s something sexier out there.

Do not know about balanced tension. Will investigate.

@puffer

i tend to do GHS for acoustic guitar and d'addario for electrics and mandolin family.

there are other strings i try when i have a new guitar but i do seem to come back to these most often.

i do like the various attempts at even tension, like the balanced or GHS true medium or variations called lt/heavy.
