String Survey

for both i use ernie ball slinkies and i use the standard sizes. and for restinging wrap the sting around 2 or 3 times and loop it inside the last loop.

I used D'Addario XL 9s on my electrics, D'Addario 11s on my acoustic.

Ernie Ball Slinkys on Electric
12s or 13s (The brand name varies) on my acoustic
Standard Tension strings on my nylon string

and for restinging wrap the sting around 2 or 3 times and loop it inside the last loop.Err, "2 or 3 times around" what? :wink:

well thats my signature stringing. it make the stings last longer...ok i probley sound like an idiot. it was actualy the way i was taught. but either way

Acoustics: Martin SP+ Phosphour Bronze Lights (.12). I bought 2 packs of "Clapton's Choice" strings and have yet to test 'em

Electrics: D'Addario all the way baby....10s and .11s

I know I've done some pretty scary installations in my early days of guitar ownership. Probably tried everything up to and including tying a bowline-on-a-bight to get the durn things onto the post. :roll:
I think (hope) my technique has improved over the past 25 years or so. :P

As far as gauge and brand, I've tried most of the "big" brands at one time or another, with no particular preference. I've pretty much standardized on 10's for electrics. I've got D'Addario EXL150 Nickel XL Electrics for my Jay Turser Hawk12, and Martin MSP4600 12-String Phosphor Bronze Extra Lights for my old Yamaha acoustic. (Trying to be kind to the neck of it.)

Elixer Nanoweb 10s for electric.
Martin Marquis 10s for acoustic.

I think I might bump the electrics to 11....

Galli GR-60 Hard tension on my classical...(which are amazing , and keep their tone , considering the amount i play them )

I want to try Savarez but they don't sell them here.

I went from martin 12's to D'Addario 11's my last change (acoustic). The jury is still out

electric: ghs boomers (.009s on one and .010s on the other)
acoustic: elixirs (.012s)

Solid-body: Ernie Ball 9s or GHS Boomer 9s
Semi-hollow: Ernie Ball 11s
Acoustic: Martin 80/20 12s

Electrics: Ernie Ball Slinky Top, Heavy Bottoms (10 to 52), the older the better - I'm not a fan of jangle :)

Electro-Acoustic: Whatever make/size it is you get when you say "just yer average cheapo bronze strings, please" :)

Electrics (a Tele & a Strat) - d'Addario EXL 9-42

Acoustic - Martin 11's
