What kind of strings do you use?

I use 10-46's (light gauge)

I used to put 9-42's (easier on the fingers) but they would detune too easily and they would bend too much when doing powerchords.

Dude, in B?!

Ah wait, I didn't really read it right, I have 11-49, not -52. I usually play in E, sometimes in D. Nothing fancy

GHS Boomers - 10's

I used to be an Ernie Ball exclusively for eons and then decided to give the Boomers some play. Good strings me likey!

I usually tune a half step down. Sometimes I will string up the Les Paul and drop to C but of course then I need some heavier strings! D'Addario 12s are good in this case.

I play alot of Carcass and Extol from the Undeceived album.

All their other albums are in D.

Ernie Balls 9-42 on 6 string 9-52 on 7. Unlike most of you guys because of what I do in playing with all the worship different teams I tune A 440 standard. If I need more bottom I just grab my RG 7621 Twisted Evil

Ernie Ball 9-46 or D'Addario depending on the guitar. Smile

Depends on the guitar......I use D'addario almost exclusively, unless I have to restring more than one axe at a time, and I'm broke :)

I have:

7 string, tuned to B: 10-59

6 strign beater strat, tuned to A: Chromes, flatwound 13-56, just for something really different.

Explorer, tuned anywhere from drop C# to drop A, also standard tunings between D and B....12-52

Peavey Rotor EX: Drop C#, 12-52. I'm gonna go back to a 11-50 type set though. this is a cheapy, 7/8 scale explorer knockoff with something like a 22" scale, and the heavy strings are too much mass compared to the lesser tension of the short scale length. Sounds too muddy because of it.
