recommend me bright but rich & not thin sounding strings for my Les Paul

[dirtytony]

I need to change strings for a LP I have wich is a very fat sounding guitar, usually Im an EB guy but after a couple weeks in this LP they got really lifeless, need help to choose between DR, GHS, D'addario, Dean Markley or whatever to improve this guitar sound
thanks a lot

pyramid max performance round core nickel strings. Seriously you can pm and thank me later. just google pyramid max performance toneman. Don Butler the "tone man" sells them. Snake oils are good too, but not as good IMO. When you play a note and let it ring out, it sounds like you really just struck a little bell. Plus they're hand made in germany and last FOREVER.

Interested in this thread. I use D'addario XLs. Pretty good, but any other recommendations?

GHS Burnished Nickel - they last a long time and are very reasonably priced compared to a lot of the imports, easy to find in stores - been using them on all my gibbys - R9, 336, 335 & LP Special

Thomastik-Infeld Blues Sliders.

I've always loved GHS Boomers w/ my Les Paul.

thanks for all inputs, can you compare your suggestions to Ernie Balls ?? what tonal changes will I get? thank you very much!!

I just started buying d'addario single strings so I could put together optimized sets. That seems to make a huge improvement on 24.75" scale guitars.

i'm using petillo strings on my les paul.
small, small company.
more expensive.
worth it.
they last forever and sound better than my old go-to (d'addario)

I use DR Pure Blues with my LP and I like them. Some here have had quality issues with them but I haven't.

GHS Sub Zeros or DMS Blue Steels. I'm deep into cryostrings for their bright and complex tone. A bit stiff feel, but nothing can touch their tone.

I really like the curt mangan fusion strings. Sparkly top end, not too bright, full bottom end, not too muddy. Pure nickel strings will be a bit darker on the bottom three, if you would say the guitar is already pretty fat, pure nickel strings would not be a good recommendation IMO. Snake oil brand rock formula would be a good in between. Either the snake oils or the mangans have a better than most lifetime than other uncoated strings. Two things to help your string life in general, wipe them down when your done playing and don't let others play your guitars, other peoples skin chemistry mixed with yours will gunk up your strings faster.
