I'd always used 009-042's, D'Addario 1982-2002, then changed to .010's and did it for tuning stability- my right hand ain't so graceful. Last year I went to
.011's for the Strat and it was no strength issue just took a couple days you know how it is. Tuning stability was even better. Now with the Carvin its back to the .010's where I'll stay. Thinking about joint health and all that.

All my Strats and my Schecter PT get strung with D'Addario 10-46. My super-Strats (Kramer Pacer and Ibanez RG1570) get D'Addario 9-42.

I use Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky strings (9-46).With La Bella have I too good experiences.I think the diffrence of brands are for example string strenght,sound,in tune staying time,long life etc.

I like to use D'Addiros 12's but I don't like a wound G string as they stretch too far to get a whole step bend and I run into to the other strings if I have one.
Elixers I use to practice as they seem to last a lot longer but D'Addiros seem to sound the best.
I have found that the heavier gauge strings have the tone I like. However, several players I have conferred with and who have made recordings say that light gauge strings sound just as good. But I never met a player that doesn't like D'Addarios. Also I'm prone to misspellings for these I humbly apologize

I swear by Ernie Power Slinkies, with an 11 on top down to a 48 or 52. Heavier is better, just ask SRV -- wish we could! My semi-acoustic is strung for jazz and slide, and has a 12 or 13 on top.

I can't go back to smaller ones. The tuning is too good with .011
