Hi guys!
What brand of strings are you using?
And what gauge is the best for standard tuning?
Thanks!

Ernie ball 9’s and 10’s. I use hybrid strings on my down tuned guitars. Don’t feel as sloppy on the lower strings.

About a year ago I switched from Hybrid Slinky’s to D’addario NYXLs 10-46. I’m really digging them, I don’t think I’ll be switching back.

No for the moment.

I use D’Addario NYXL, 10-46 on 6 strings and 10-52 on 7 strings.
But I have a “blues” guitar in Eb with 11-52 for some painful, soulful bends

Haven’t tried the XTs yet. I’ve never been into coated strings for some reason, but it’s been years since I’ve tried them. I may as well give it another shot.

Daddario 10s
I break all the others.
There was a time I played with 11s. Tone was killer but well…they were 11s! Lol

GHS Boomers GBTNT 10-52 Thin-Thick
Just switched over to NYXL 10-52 next string change there going on.
I tune to standard with them. Bottom sounds fatter to me.
I use daddario 11s, I break anything else. The lowest I tune to is C# for sabbath stuff (but that’s rare because I don’t have a guitar set up for that). Generally I’m in standard tuning.

How’s your intonation with 52 on the 7string? Is it a baritone scale guitar? I’ve found that anything below 60 on 25.5 scale makes it borderline impossible to play in tune…
Rotosound Roto Pinks 9-42. I’ve been using it because it’s cheaper, has free strings, one of the strings that doesn’t corrode easily with my sweaty hands, and I can’t break them. Haha!
D’Addario NYXL 8-38’s and 9-42’s
Love the tone and feel of lighter strings!
