I am ready for a new box of strings?

[frank62]

Any suggestions for something new and improved. I have been using B52s for about 2 years now and am ready to try something new.

I use Elixir 10's...they seem to be the most durable i've used, but i haven't used very many different strings.

[Slackerprince]

I use Regular Slinky's and love them.

DR for me, been using them for about 10 years

on all my guitars, i've been using GHS Tremolo Boomers practically since they were introduced.

i think i only have one or two instruments with trems, too.

i am also horribly unfashionable and have a tin ear. </sarcasm>

I have been using polywebs 10s on my guitar for years, but just ordered some Daddario EXP 10s, (80-20) and also am going to try some Nanowebs.
So many strings out there. DR has coated acoustics in many different colors, they look cool:BluesBros

Thanks folks. Just fishing here for some ideas. I wont pay over 50 bucks for a box so leave out the booteek stuff. I see Dunlop is in the game now. Any word on those?

:agree I couldn't be happier with Pure Blues, 10s, for both my strat and tele. They come alive with these strings!

Check out Curt Mangan - great strings at great prices. And no, I'm not endorsed... yet.

There ya go...Mangan's are great and relatively inexpensive. I like the 9.5 hybrid winds..

Mangans are definitely the best for the money. I use his pure nickel 11's on my LP's and I will sometimes use the R.Cocco if I have the extra cash.


The best strings I've ever used were Thomastik Blues sliders, but they are 10-46 and about 15$ a pack. So I don't use them very often. You should definitely try them out atleast once.

+1 They are super consistent, so once you set your intonation you wont have to move it again like I have to do for other brands.
