For a decade+ it was just Dadarrio XL 10s. Lately I’ve switched everything to Gilmour GHS, which is a custom set of Boomers. I love the heavier ones on the 335....im less completely in love with the lighter set on the strat (and the heavier was too much)—but, on the tele, its magic. Alleviated the kind of “overly tense” feel without causing intonation issues, like as example Dadarrio balanced tension (thus i think thats also the fancier new ones) did. Last a lot longer than the Daddarios did, too.

20+ years and still on Fender Super Bullets 10's. No other strings work for me. Have them on all 3 of my Teles, and would on my Gretsch except for the bullet ends...

I think Yanuzello (sp?) takes bigsby tailoieces and mods them by drilling out the pins so you can string through the wrap around instead of using the pins to hold the ball ends. I always wanted to do that but don’t have a drill press or time to do it. Seems like a really slick mod! |

I go back and forth between basic D’addario 9s and 10s on my G&L ASAT classic. Nines certainly bring a little more of the twang factor.

D'Addario EXL115 usually... or EXL115W(wound 3rd) if I want fuller sounding chords.

usually Dean Markley 10-46 either regular or the Blue Steel
lately I'm using Lay's Stay in Tune strings nickel version and they are mfn awesome - really worth checking out
the 10's are super slinky and feel almost like 9's

Dean Markley string packs still come with the very cool 70s sticker swag? |

Just checked them out here: iconicguitars.com/products/evolution-t-series It would nice to see more detailed pictures, or 360º photos too . . . next best thing to being there. I like the thin neck options! My 55 year old arthritic hands definitely need that. |

yeah the regular dean markleys still come in the yellow pack sometimes with a sticker
I used to play SIT strings back in the early 80's and was surprised and pleased to see them still around
it seems like the quality is just as good as it was in the past

I've still got a box of original Snake Oils Strings. I run 9's or 10's on my guitars, favoring 9's on the Tele at the moment.

My favorite electric strings are Everly B52s (steel alloy or something) but my Tele is the one guitar I like plain old DAddario nickels on. It's just "that sound".

I bounce around depending on the Tele. Some have Stringjoy Broadways(pure nickels round core) others Daddario XL. Sometimes GHS Boomers. Even flats occasionally. I have the half round Daddarios on one pine Tele and they are awesome.

Every second string would break in minutes. Not inspiring at all. But I never break a string now, using any brand, so maybe I was the problem. I might just have to pick some up again! Currently rocking Cleartone coated 10-46 nickels on one Tele and Rotosound coated 10-46 nickels on another. Very impressed with both! |
