What are you current and favourite guitar string manufacturers?

[dsouza]

I always use Elixir strings for both my Strat and LP.

Man these strings last me 3 months before they need changing and I play 3 hrs a day most days.

 

[Fro68]

I’ve been using Ernie Ball Slinky’s for decades. I’ll probably keep using them.
My acoustic has Martin strings on it now but I have used Elixirs when I had a Taylor.

 

[Joshua_L]

Elixir.

I can turn others strings into noodles in half an hour.

I can make about 7 shows with elixir.

I’m literally a rusting machine. lol.

 

[gibsonash]

D addario EXL

 

[ak301]

Rotosound

Been using their strings for years
Really good

 

[Rick]

Elixir, Ernie Ball, and Martin. I also like GHS, D’Addario, and PRS strings when the others are unavailable.

 

[SpudMan]

As of late, Stringjoy. Also D'Addario and Elixir. Interested in the Rotosound's listed above though.

I switched to D'Addario for all strings about 10 years ago. Prior to that I was using GHS.
Years before I switched, I noticed small kinks, inconsistencies with slight corrosion or manufacturing defects on the plain strings, pack after pack!
Every time I open new strings, I run the entire string through my thumb and index finger to feel for anything unusual.

I have been very happy with D'Addario. I change my electric strings at about 3 month intervals, as I have several guitars I use.
Acoustic string get changed when they loose the top end.

Daddario, really Like the XT’s.

 

[GuitarChapPappa]

Elixir Optiweb for my electrical guitars and Elixir Phophor Bronze for acoustic steel string guitar.
For my classical guitar D'addario Pro Arte nylon strings.

 

[Sixstring]

D'Addario for the last 25 years or so.

 

[brianv4]

D'Addario NYXL and XS Phosphor Bronze. If I'm storing a guitar for a while or playing gigs at the shore during August it's Elixir Optiweb. I also carry Elixir singles just in case I break a string (which is rarely as I change often).

 

[Musikron]

NYXL
Was a DR fanatic for years until they seemed to be unable to get a set out with decent quality control.

I wait for a BOGO sale

I used to use Ernie balls, but after i developed a nickel allergy I started using Dangelico electrozinc strings that use a zinc alloy instead of nickel. They are a bit darker sounding though.
I also use Cleartone coated strings sometimes, since the coating helps avoid the nickel. I prefer the feel of those over elixirs.

 

[shemihazazel]

D'Addario NYXL are my go-to these days. Used to play GHS Boomers.

 

[sandmannn69]

GHS Boomers for last 40 years, the best and the brightest.

 

[Henry]

D'Addario, my whole life.

Same here, #2222, until I tried Stringjoy....

SIT for electric. Elixir for acoustic.
