.009" D'Addarios and Super Slinkies. They sound great and play like a dream!

A good, screaming Strat just might be the greatest guitar sound of all..... -Slash
D'Addario nickel 10s for standard tuning, 11s for - 1/2 step.

Can I get back to you on that?
I find 12's too much struggle for no particular advantage. 11's work just fine.

Seriously, i use 11-52 on all my gits but i´m curious about 12 or 13s on my "new" Ibanez semi!
I take that back. On an archtop or any guitar where I am not doing a lot of bending, I would use heavier strings, just like holmis63.

D'Addario 120+ (.0095-.044)on most guitars,especially Fender scale with medium jumbos.Best overall set I've ever tried.
Ernie Ball Power Slinkys (.011-.048) on some Gibsons.
Custom .012-.054 on one strat.

I kinda think I might like 11s... 10-46s do seem to work for me though.
10s on the Tele
11-48 on the LP.

10-46 pure nickel wound, I put on 12-52 once to try them out and cracked the nut!
Electrics: 10-46 GHS 'Boomers'
Acoustic: 11-48 D'addarios
I tried the DR Blues, didn't care much for them, went back to GHS (that I've used for the past 35 years or so).

I geared up to 12-52s on my new Ibanez af125 and it is a litle bit of struggling when bending notes, but i get a nice deep woody tone as a reward :-)
I have been using strings that need changing :) but 10's to each his own on all that - I am considering going to 9's for ease of play and comfort. DR Blues.
Nickel rockers 10-46..
Ernie Ball Super Slinky (0.009 - 0.042)
Size doesn't matter.........performance does.

Indubitably.

Gotta be Ernie Ball Super Slinky!
Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkys:
.009-.046
I'm an odd one here: Been using Fender Bullits 9-42 for most of 30 years. Whenever I've tried something else, they feel strange.

Big strings = small penis. I think I need to switch to 8's.
Really though, it just depends on the guitar. One Stat I have likes 11's, another other 10's, a third it doesn't matter. Gibbies I use 10's, but Teles - the lighter the better so they can do that thing they do.
Often, I just use whatever I have the most of.

I've used 10-46 on electrics ever since I was a kid. Nothing else feels right.
Acoustics have been mostly 12's, but I've switched to 11's on my beater acoustic.
