    EB Regular Slinky. I've tried two sets of Elixir Nanoweb's, didn't have to change a string for about half a year!!! Almost no loss of treble, no string breaking. They are expensive but worth every cent.

    I use EB's because they're the easiest to come by and the last a long time, tho' I've been known to rock me some DR's and some Elixirs in the past at times.

    I use Webstrings. They last a good month of regular playing, and I get 12 packs for about $31(shipping included). I haven't tried EB's in years. I should get a pack to see if there is reason why I didn't continue to use them. It has been so long I can't remember if there was. I know that I used D'Addarios before Webstrings, but I can't remember what I used before that. I do remember that I hated Dean Markley strings.

    Ernie Ball Beefy Slinkys on all electrics that are tuned to the folling tunings: standard, drop-D, half step down, drop-D half step down, full step down and drop-D full step down. GHS Zakk Wylde Low Tune on the guitar that is in drop-B. Ernie Ball Not even Slinkys on guitars tuned 2 steps down(sometimes I use Beefy Slinkys for these guitars). Still trying to find a good set of strings for the baritone. If anyone has any suggestions on baritone strings, please feel free to post them
