what kind of strings do you use?

Got a Deal with Pyramid. Great Strings and located in my neighborhood.
Currently playing PYRAMID Superior Quality Nickel Plated Steel 009-046

9-42 for my strats. 9-46 for my teles.
On my LP I like the higher tension of 10’s.

13-62 D'Addario baritone strings on a 25,5" scale guitar, tuned to C.

I like the tension at low tunings, but of late have been looking for a lower gauge that gives is capable of similar tuning at a similar tension.

Any ideas?

Tele 9-42, Strat 9-46, Gibson scale 10 or 11, Archtop and acoustic dreadnought 13. Usually.

Then of course there are times when I'd like a Tele with 11's and Strat with.....etc.

Ya need lots of guitars

Ernie Ball Super Slinky (9-42).

Elixir nanoweb 7-string sets with baritone sevens.

Zakk Wylde Boomers 0.11-0.70 on a Six-String Jackson to get a nice tight Drop B sound out of it!

10-46 on les paul and sg,recently moved up to 10 after years on 9. and 9-42 on strat,and i stick to Ernie Ball,havent really tried many others quite happy with sound and price.

Quote from Geraldo7

thanks for voting to everyone! i should have put a bet before in the headliner that the 10-46 is gonna win. i hindsight it is always easy, isn't it?
playing in standard tuning this the choice obviously of most players. nevertheless, i recommend at least to try the 10-52.
if you play a lot of power chords (like me) AND a lot of soloing (like me) i can give you an extra punch while bending remains relatively easy.
thanx for joining again.

cheers

That´s right, i really love the combination of heavier bass strings and lighter high strings, which are comfortable to bend.

These ones are simply great:
