SRV1 Finland	May 20th, 2012 12:54 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Hi, Currently I'm using Ernie Ball's "Skinny top heavy bottom" 10-52 strings on my E-tuned Strats. I use also "Beefy Slinkys" 11-54 on my E-flat tuned Strats. I'm just wondering if anyone is using same kind of sets on Strats? I'm playing mainly blues and rock. The best set would be "Power Slinkys" if the low E would be fatter. (This message was last edited by SRV1 at 04:44 AM, May 20th, 2012)

DR came out not too long ago with the Dragon Skin, for both Electric and Acoustic. I've used both. IMO, I think the best coated strings I've ever played. And I used to be an Elixar guy!

DrKev Contributing Member * Irishman in Paris Forget Tone - go with Note Choice	May 21st, 2012 02:44 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I've been using Ernie Ball Super Slinky (9-42) for many years but I recently changed to the Ernie Ball Coated Super Slinkys (9-42). They last WAAAAY longer than normal slinkys, with a touch of extra 'texture' to the tone. Great strings.

Makes buying in bulk easier. Great on a strat - but possibly a little light on a LP or Gretsch type guitar.

The exception is the baricaster which is a 25.5 inch scale tuned to B, which sports DR DDTs, the heaviest set. Feels pretty good at B, a bit loose at A.

Weezie Montreal, Canada	May 27th, 2012 08:59 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I use 10-38s on my strat -- the Hendrix gauge. The lighter low E helps out a lot with the typical problems you can get with strats on that string. I use 10-46 on everything else.
