On my 24" Strat w/ Jagmaster neck:

D'addario Pure Nickels used to be my go-to choice for all my electrics, but I bought DRs on a whim and BAM! Converted. Better construction and better tone that lasts longer.

I use .11s on all my electrics, but I'll probably move over to .12s on the Strat soon. I've really been loving the .13s on my Little Martin, so maybe it's worth a shot. I can almost see Robroe's Manland on the horizon. ;)

I like D'Addario EXL115, 11-49. But I want to try D'Addario EXL115W 11-49 (wound G string), because 3rd string has a poor sustain on my guitar now.
Fender Mustang (SD Little ‘59 SL59-1b, SD Classic Stack STK-S4n).
Yerasov Goblin Tube Amp.

I use D'Addario with wound G's on everything, and .11's on my Jaguar and my designated Eflat guitar.

Oh, I haven't posted about my Jaguar. I have a Jag now.

On my Jaguar - Dese!

Oh! I forgot!, I have a new Jag (the CIJ Thinline Jag didn't cut it for me, and IMO it was too nice and too rare to mod with different pickups, so it was traded towards a Ric 360 that was available at a price I couldn't resist)! I'll hopefully post pictures tonight.

I use EXL115Ws on all of my other guitars (I don't care for plain G/3rd strings, despite being a lead player). I think they're great sounding, and they last plenty long for me. I just ordered another 3 packs of them from Just Strings.

Hi,

I like to put 10-46 Elixir Nanoweb on all my guitars (24", 24.75" and 25.5").
I used to put 10-46 Ernie Ball Slinky, DR Strings, D'Adarrio, etc.
I'm about to try Ernie Cobalt (still 10-46)... wondering how they sound and feel.

Just put 11s on after years of living with 9s, don't know why, because now it feels like a much much better guitar.

10-52 and I generally don't care about brand. Whatever is cheapest or available.
